Learning the Faith

Issue 02 | March & April 2009

Featured articles in this second issue of Gathered look at how all of God’s faithful are called to nurture the faith. Steven Girardi writes about the ways that faith learning leads adults both to the faith and back to the faith in “Learning about faith leads adults to – or back to – the church,” while Jamie Pilarczyk ‘s article, “Families unite through sacrament prep,” delves into how children’s sacrament preparation brings whole families together.
