In the midst of the Easter season, we continue to celebrate the Resurrection in a unique way! And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth.” (Jn. 1:14) And He has commissioned us: “Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, leaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” (Mt. 28:18-22)
The Church Teaches Forum is an important element of making disciples, baptizing and teaching all nations to observe all that our Lord has commanded. I want to invite you and your friends to participate in this great opportunity on July 15 and 16, 2016 at the Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. Register now for this stellar conference. Call six of your family members and friends today and invite them to participate in the Forum with you. They will thank you later!
Participating in the Forum will help you proclaim ever afresh, with a certain trumpet, the Gospel of Jesus Christ as expressed in the Church’s “sacred and certain doctrines.” Clarity of doctrine and purity of practice are essential for the salvation of Souls and the building of the City of God on earth. You are a part of the ever-growing number of joyful, dedicated and faithful Catholics forming themselves intellectually, spiritually and socially to offer society the foundational truths for the new evangelization and a rebirth of culture.
“As is always the case, this year’s schedule of speakers is an exemplary presentation of members of the Church hierarchy who are unflinching witnesses to the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic faith…. The Church Teaches Forum is a unique opportunity for Catholics from across the country to attend a conference of the highest order of fidelity to the holy Catholic Church…. Our speakers will ignite the fire of faith, build zeal and move hearts.” (Wm. J. Smith, 2003)
To encourage and protect the faith of our children and future generations, the Catholic laity must have an in-depth knowledge of the Catholic Faith. Faith and reason inform our intellects and lead us to the freedom of correctly formed, delicate and certain consciences. The Church Teaches Forum helps you in this most important task. The talks and materials we offer at the “Forum” are essential tools in the needed work of evangelization. They prepare people to: “Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope,….” (1 Peter 3:15). When we understand the Church’s teachings we are capable of making decisions which allow us to experience the joy of Christ Himself: “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.” (John 15:11)
We look forward to seeing you at the Forum. May our Lady, Patroness of the Americas and Star of the New Evangelization, keep you in her care
