Our Mission
"Every new thing known about God is a new reason for loving Him." (Frank Sheed)
Our mission is to offer presentations, which lead to conversations, that break open the richness of our beautiful Catholic faith, bringing disciples one step closer to Christ.
We are an ongoing adult faith formation program at NDMC, offering presentations on a wide variety of topics! There is something for everyone!

Next session is March 17, 7-8:30 PM
COME and JOIN US for our twentieth presentation, “Finding Joy When Life Feels Heavy."
Pastoral counselor Debby Kispert will draw on faith and insights into human happiness, exploring how meaning and purpose can sustain us when comfort fades. We'll discover how joy and sorrow can coexist, offering us help. Where is God when sorrow feels overwhelming? How can faith transform our deepest wounds. What practices help us reconnect to God and others with meaning and purpose?
Bring your favorite refreshment and a friend or two. No registration required!
