Welcome to the home of Apologetics for the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish
We are thrilled to begin our book study of Beginning Apologetics 1 by Fr. Frank Chacon and Jim Burnham. We will meet Wednesday nights from 6:30-7:45pm in PAC beginning May 4th, 2016. If you are interested in joining us please contact the parish office at (937) 394-3823.
What is apologetics? Apologetics is giving a reasoned explanation for your faith. Although the Catholic Church has been persecuted and yet thrived since it's inception 2000 years ago, we are in the midst of a New Evangelization and a fight for religious freedom.
“I sense that the moment has come to commit all the Church’s energies to a new evangelization...No believer in Christ, no institution of the Church can avoid this supreme duty: to proclaim Christ to all peoples.” - Pope St. John Paul II
Thus, we have created a space for learning and growing in our faith. Use the tabs according to the topic of the week or as questions arise in your daily life. Check out formed.org for lots of great FREE content- resources, videos, podcasts, and eBooks. Check the gathering space for parish subscription.
Always remember, you must first deepen your own relationship with Jesus Christ before convincing others of His infinite love and mercy. It is your personal experience and prayer that will most often bring weary souls to the Lord.
See you in the Eucharist,
The Marino's
I was looking through old facebook posts tonight and found this one that I shared a few weeks ago. It is very relative to our Apologetics class tonight. Check it out.
