Young Adult & Family Opportunities

We are happy to share with you a very exciting opportunity for us to learn about our Catholic faith and transform our relationship with the Church. This is through The Catechism in a Year podcast with Fr. Mike Schmitz. This podcast, launching January 1st, will take us through the entire Catechism of the Catholic Church. Fr. Mike will offer encouragement and insight on the readings as we go to help us clearly understand Church teaching and allow those truths to shape our lives, day by day. 

Maybe you’ve only ever read parts of the Catechism, or maybe you aren’t familiar with this book at all. Regardless of your current knowledge of the Catechism or our faith, this podcast will help you learn more and grow closer to God. The Catechism discusses and explains the teachings of the Catholic Church, a Church founded by Jesus Christ over 2,000 years ago. It’s rooted in Scripture and because we’ll be reading it in podcast form, it is easy and accesibile. Each of the daily episodes will be about 15-20 minutes long, making it easy to listen to while driving into work, going on your daily walk, or drinking your morning coffee. The podcast is completely free and available on all major podcast apps and YouTube. 

To join us in this journey through the Catechism, visit AscensionPress.com/CIY to download the reading plan. Then you can find out online group on Facebook by visit the link below.
