“What we did with the Bible, we’re going to do with the Catechism,” explains Fr. Mike. “For 365 days we are going to take a little section of the Catechism every single day. We’re going to read it, explain it, and expand upon it so that by the end of this year we’ll be able to say, ‘I know what the Church believes, I know what God’s plan is for my life, I know how to talk to God, I know how to listen to His voice, and I know how to worship Him.’ It’s going to be incredible.”

Mike Schmitz to present this offering to our audience, especially as theCatechism of the Catholic Churchmarks the 30th anniversary of its publication this October.”
