The Promised Land

- The Promised Land
  
  A course from the St. Patrick Catechetical Institute — St. Patrick Parish's faith formation program built on four pillars: Sacraments, Practicum, Catechesis, and Initiation. Over seven sessions, we walk the full arc of salvation history, from the garden of Eden to the Ascension of Christ. From the first man to the last commission, each session follows the figures of Scripture who point us toward the God who never stops pursuing his people.
