Catechesis with the Pastor:
Moral Theology

Tuesdays at 7:00 PM
January 11 - April 5

We grow up often seeing the Church’s moral teachings as a list of rules I have to follow and a bunch of things I can’t do. But Moral Theology is defined by one renowned theologian as “the branch of theology that studies human acts so as to direct them to a loving vision of God seen as our true, complete happiness and our final end. This vision is obtained by means of grace, the virtues, and the gifts, in the light of revelation and reason." (Fr. Servais Pinckaers, OP, The Sources of Christian Ethics). Join us as we study Catholic Moral Theology, not as a series of rules to be followed, but as that path of beatitude, supported by grace, that is our perfection, our flourishing, and our ultimate happiness.
