Back by Popular Demand: Season 2 of Why Catholic

A hearty welcome to all those returning -- and a special welcome to all who will be joining Why Catholic?, in the Archdiocese of Louisville, for the first time during early October.

Season Two officially kicks off during the period of October 2-8, 2011. Throughout the weeks of Fall, small-group, faith-sharing sessions will focus on a prayerful study of the new Roman missal.
