Holy Cross Parish is hosting Catholicism 201 on eight consecutive Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m. beginning on September 25, 2008. All parishioners and interested members of the public are invited to take part.

Catholicism 201 features a Canadian-produced series of presentations by Fr. James Mallon.

Each evening consists of four parts:

1. Welcome and opening prayer
2. A one-hour presentation on some aspect of the Catholic faith
3. A small group discussion of the subject matter of the presentation
4. Wrap-up and closing prayer

There is no charge for registration. Participants are encouraged to bring a Bible to the sessions and may wish to acquire a copy of The Catechism of the Catholic Church for follow-up reading. Bibles will also be available for participants who have not brought their own.
