Many Catholics wish they could return to the basics of the Catholic faith they learned as children. There is so much to learn and building a firm foundation is important. Using the Catechism of the Catholic Church as our guide, we will dive into the fourth pillar on prayer. Previous attendance to the Foundations class is not required.

Regarded as the centerpiece of Lewis’ apologetics, Mere Christianity began as a series of live radio talks given under the auspices of the BBC during WWII. Characterized by careful reasoning, vivid analogies, and Lewis’s gift for making complex religious ideas immediately accessible, the broadcasts were overwhelmingly successful. Join us in reading this classic! Discussion questions will be provided
