"Going Deeper with Why Catholic?"

"Going Deeper with Why Catholic?" is an adult catechesis resource to supplement and complement the Why Catholic? program. These sessions are designed to allow adults to go deeper into a particular topic that has been presented in the Why Catholic? sessions. They are also ideal for the formation of Why Catholic? small group leaders so that they may be more effective in guiding and teaching their small groups. Sessions are 1 ½ to 2 hours each, but can also be tailored to meet the parish’s needs.
