BASICS OF THE FAITH Basics of the Faith monthly Sunday sessions will resume in February. Join us for our next session on Sunday, February 1, 2015, from 8:45 to 10:15 am in the Maximilian Room (Rectory side entrance). Our topic will be The Second Commandment: Reverence God’s Name. What does this mean in our lives? Is it a particular issue in today’s sometimes coarse public and private communication? The session will include a PowerPoint presentation and time for questions. Coffee, tea, and cake will be provided. To be added to our mailing list for information on upcoming sessions, contact Anne Chavez at [email protected].
