Watched the program last night on EWTN and was impressed with the possibllity of heaaring the Sunday Homily given in a universial message the same around the world .It seems it would be a better learing and teaching method to keep Catholics informed about our church. I want to be taught.

I'm a second year new convert. I love the church and all the amazing things I have learned. The Lord led me to catholicism by reading the Gospel of John. I thank God every day for the church! Amen Amen and Amen

I cannot tell you how thankful I am that for this website and for those who worked so hard to put this program together. Catechesis is SO DESPERATELY NEEDED in the Church of Christ today!!!! SO DESPERATELY NEEDED!!!! I believe the lack of proper catechesis is a VERY MAJOR CRISIS that sadly has cost us many souls. What a gift to the Church this will be!!! A precious GIFT!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you again and again for being open to the Holy Spirit. THANK YOU LORD FOR THIS!!

I come from a family of nine children, my father died at the age of 39,he was faithful to the Roman Catholic Church,however he passed away in 1970. We all went to Catholic grade school but the expense of continuing Catholic education became too much for my mother.Today two of the nine remain faithful to the Church.A catechetical formation program is needed but getting the bodies back in the pew is the challenge.Ipray that the Holy Spirit will bless this ministry,the Church has the answers for a jaded world .Please God young men will recognise the need to bring this cause to fruition.God is good,let it be done.

May God reward you for this ministry. I watched you last night on EWTN. I am only now realizing what it means to be a Christian at the age of 76. The laity are in such need of being educated in the faith. It was a gift to have the year of faith but I did not see around me any solid steps being taken to carry out this task. Finally last night listening to you my heart became so hopeful. What a gift to the church your ministry will be. I will pray for you that God and our Blessed Mother will protect you.
Let me know how I can bring this message to my parish. I have only been in my parish a year and do not know many people even though I go to Sunday and weekday Mass. I was hurt by the lack of inclusion into the life of the parish until in prayer I was led to the realization that people in the parish were good people doing works of charity as individuals. What we lack in many parishes is cohesion and inclusiveness. It is my opinion, listening to the criticism of the church over and over again, lapse Catholics tell me they do not feel included so why should I go to church. When the church began we were a family and we knew one another studying and carrying out the gospel message and then spreading the good news Many people of my age and younger feel like me we are strangers going to Mass and returning to our daily lives. We do not have the support of a community. It made so much sense teaching in the method Father advocated it would draw people together in knowledge and strength to go out and spread the gospel message.
Once more may the Divine Will and Mother Mary protect your ministries. God bless in the Divine Will Mary Foley

I want to be taught, too! I always have thought that if only I had gone to catechism and applied myself I would have learned Church teachings and been a better Catholic. There must be more people who are like me, a Catholic, a believer, and in need of a refresher in Catholicism. I did not go to Catholic school, but I did go to Catechism one day per week. . I did not pay much attention to the teaching of the Catechism classes, having discovered the secret that I thought was a wonderful thing at the time, that I could appear to be listening to the teacher and not actually listen. But what I do remember is the Benediction and the Latin Mass and the beautiful hymns during Benediction. So moving and so wonderful were they in my Soul that I remember them to this very day. Yes I would love to be taught now, to know that I know how to explain my faith.
