Overview
Catechism I: Believing was the first of a series of three courses that introduce us to historic Christianity.
In Catechism II we go deeper into what the Church has always taught about Christianity, and it is subtitled “Becoming” because we will explore what it means to live as a Christian, to put our hope in transformation, and to become the image of Christ.
