Catechesis of Pope St Pius X

 In his 1905 Encyclical Acerbo Nimis (Excessively Bitter) Pope Pius X noted: “It is a common complaint, unfortunately too well founded, that there are large numbers of Christians in our own time who are entirely ignorant of those truths necessary for salvation.” Unfortunately, over a century later, this statement can still be considered true. Many faithful and obedient Catholics participate in the sacraments of the church and attend Mass weekly but in their ignorance feel ill prepared for Catholic life as an adult and are robbed of the fullest fruits of Christian life. If you have had unanswered questions of the faith, a desire to grow, or to use your faith to live truly your best life, this class is for you. Using the Catechism of St Pius X promulgated the same year as Acerbo Nimis, this class aims to re-educate the faithful in foundational doctrines and to give new light to the timeless and enumerable wisdom, graces, mysteries, and treasures of the Church, and as in 1905 to fight the threatening spread of error in the faithful in modern times. 

Join our own parishioner, Andrew King, for this study, where you will explore topics such as the Apostles Creed, prayer, sacraments, Church authority, the Ten Commandments and much more. Andrew is a convert to the Catholic faith, and brings much insight from his own years of study.
