October Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation
A great tip for building your faith is to find a good Catholic Community to join or at least a few good Catholic friends to encourage you on.We need community. It is the reason Jesus gathered His 12 Apostles together. When He sent them out, He sent them in pairs. It is not good for us to be alone, even more so as we strive to be disciples in a world that lives so contrary to the Gospel.
Find friendship here at St. John Nepomucene by seeking good Catholic friends or looking into one of our amazing ministries. There is always a place for you here!
September Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation
We need to be constantly reminded that “the Church is not a man-made society of like-minded people who are trying to live Christian lives and to exert some kind of Christian influence upon the world. The Catholic Church is a community created and called by God.
Its task is evangelization and salvation: to be an instrument of God’s work in the world focused in the saving and liberating mission of Jesus Christ. It must, therefore, look to the Holy Spirit for the power to accomplish it.
