Dr. D'Ambrosio's Visit

Friday night, Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio came through the snow and spoke at the parish. The event was sponsored by the Archdiocese as he spoke about the Creed.

The Creeds are an expansion and clarification of what we are truly saying in the Baptism Rite when we are baptized in the name of the Father, and the Son and of the Holy Spirit. He noted that Christianity is unique in addressing God as Father. The sense that we are in such an intimate relationship with God is not found in any other faith.

In the Creeds we continually say "I believe" or "We believe." He noted that when we really look at the original Greek, it is not simply an intellectual agreement. Rather, it gives the sense of being fully committed to our faith with our whole heart and soul.

We thank the Faith Formation Office for

bringing Dr. D'Ambrosio to St. Columbkille.

Dr. D'Ambrosio is coming

Next Friday (February 25th) Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio will be here to explain how the very heart of the Christian faith is all about intimate, personal relationships. It's about a community of love between three divine persons, and the powerful, loving way that each of those Divine Persons breaks into our world to transform our lives. He will explain how faith is not irrational but the most reasonable response possible to God's amazing deeds.

Last Friday he was on Catholic Answers answering questions non-Catholics have about our faith. Click here for the link to listen.

He will speak at 7:00 p.m. in the church. Tickets are $10 and the money raised will be used to offset the cost of the Catholic Schools Office having him to speak to Catholic High School teachers earlier in the day.
