THE SUNDAY MORNING “CLASSES” at St. Ann that Father Michael started holding several weeks ago, are still ongoing. They are called a Study of our Catholic Faith. Fr. Sweeney has topic ideas for each week but there is no set agenda, so if you come with questions, the answers might be that week’s agenda! There is no assigned homework and no tests! Informal and very informative. Those who have attended, even cradle Catholics, have learned a lot and now have a much deeper understanding of, and greater appreciation for, our Catholic faith and customs. Feel free to join us and see what you think. Starts at 7:30 a.m. Sunday mornings in the Holy Family Room. No pre-registration required!
*Father Michael's "Penny Catechism"(A fun and informative little morsel of Catholic teaching and trivia)* Last week's question along with the answer:
Question #153: The term "incardination" is important in our Catholic faith. What does it mean?
Answer: In order to exercise his ministry, every diocesan priest must be under the authority of a bishop. When a priest transfers permanently to a different diocese and is, therefore, under the authority of a different bishop, the priest must be incarnated into the new diocese. This is an administrative procedure primarily but an important one.
Question #154: What Bible translations does the Church allow for personal spiritual reading?
(The answer will appear in next week’s bulletin along with a new question)
