About

Friends,

We face many misleading views of our faith. Too often religion is blamed for being anti-science, and some claim that religion foments violence. Learn the truth. The University Series offers a variety of sessions that help us learn more about our faith so that we can better live our life and can evangelize others.

Pre-register to show up at the parish door. We welcome everyone.

Blessings,

Robert Barron
