Kellenberg Memorial is pleased to continue a special program of faith formation for our parents on Wednesday, February 4th. Adult faith formation is an important part of our Catholic tradition, and we would like our parents to have the opportunity to experience the same faith formation that we devotedly teach as part of our academic programs. Meet in the Lobby at 6 PM. Confessions will be available. The evening will end at 8 PM.
Topic – The Manifestation of Our God
Having just completed the joyous Christmas cycle, in which our God sent His Son to live among us, to redeem us, and to show us God’s merciful love, we will explore: who is the God that we believe in; who is this Son, God’s incarnation; and who is the Holy Spirit, God’s presence among us every day. The session will use the Nicene Creed as its starting point to explore the Mystery of the Holy Trinity.
