Catechism in a Year

Join us in a great New Year’s resolution that will change your life – let’s read the entire Catechism in a year!

St. Michael the Archangel is excited to invite our parishioners and friends to join us in reading the entire Catechism of the Catholic Church together using “The Catechism in a Year” podcast with Fr. Mike Schmitz beginning January 1, 2023.  Beginning on January 16,  we will meet in person on Monday evenings from 7-8 pm to discuss.  There will be a virtual meeting available (Zoom link at the end of this email). 

By listening to this podcast, we will:

• Read the entire Catechism in 365 days
• Understand the essentials of the Catholic Faith and why they matter
• Transform our relationship with the Church that Christ founded

Each of the daily podcast episodes will be about 15-20 minutes long, making it easy to listen for your own personal listening, with your family, or with a small group.

ONCE A WEEK, on Monday, from 7:00 – 8:00 PM, we will meet as a community of Faith and discuss the teachings that Fr. Mike has provided over the previous week from the Catechism.  We encourage you to purchase a Catechism from Ascension Press (the one, Fr. Mike will be reading and teaching from) or to download one from the USCCB website.  There is also a reading guide.  On the schedule below, there is a list of the teachings which will be covered each week!  Even if you don’t get a chance to listen to Fr. Mike, join us on Mondays to explore more deeply, our Catholic Faith!  See the schedule below!  To join us, click here:
