History of the Catholic Church Part 1 - Thursday Night


STARTING THURSDAY NIGHT, 6 PM!

From Father James Brady:

In October and November, we will begin our adult education with two presentations on the history of our Church, followed next spring by an introduction into Sacred Scripture. The first history presentation, which will be Thursday, October 6 at 6 pm in church, will begin with the founding of our Church and will run through the Great Schism, which occurred around 1000A.D. It will focus on, and hopefully give us an understanding of, what we commonly refer to as the “Eastern Catholic” Churches and the “Eastern Orthodox” Churches. The second presentation will take place Thursday, November 3 and will focus on the Protestant Reformation, which occurred around 1500 A.D. and will focus on the founding of the many Christian churches we commonly see here in the United States, and more particularly our Opelousas community. It is important for us to understand history so we can understand our Church, and also to understand the beliefs of the churches in our community. I hope you mark your calendars for these days and are able to attend.
