Part 4 Discovering Catholic Values: An Introduction to the Basics of our Faith

An informational and enriching introduction to the Catholic faith, this course will explore who is the Trinitarian God we believe in, who is Christ as our Saviour, what is the Church, and how do we respond to evil and suffering. These questions will be addressed in the context of living the call to holiness in the grace of God with a life of Christian love and virtue. The course will acknowledge our Catholic tradition and heritage whilst recognising that we need to live our faith in the reality of a changing world. This course is the last part of this year’s 4-part series on Scripture, Prayer and Sacraments, Christian Anthropology and Catholic Values.
