The Church exists to evangelize. In our contemporary situation, the need for evangelization is acute. Not only must the Church carry the message of the Good News of Jesus to those who have never heard of him, but she must also evangelize the baptized who have never experienced the life- changing power of Jesus. This program provides solid and organic faith formation. Drs. David and Angela Franks will direct this program. Learning will be supported by a small-group community experience. Participants will be invited to a catered dinner once a month. On Wednesday evenings 6:30-9:30 PM, Starting September 8 (for 13 weeks) at St. John’s Seminary, Brighton, MA.
