Practical Catholicism
Ministry Leader: Wade Feller (719-332-0414)
Practical Catholicism is for Catholics who seek to grow in fellowship and faith through practical application of the gifts of knowledge, understanding and good counsel. The group investigates original Catholic texts in “bite-sized” portions so they can be discussed and explored during our two-hour meetings. Meetings are held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month from 7-9pm in the parish library. For more information, contact Wade Feller at 719-332-0414.
