Adult Catechesis is a study of our faith, examining the theological reasons of what we believe according to the principles and method of St. Thomas Aquinas. Particular emphasis is placed on topics of study whereby one is armed to answer modern errors or objections against the Catholic faith, “being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you” (1 Pt. 3.15).
