About the Study

As our strategic plan continues to unfold, a new area that we will begin to implement this fall is new formation initiatives for adults.

Starting Sunday, September 10, a new 8-part study focusing on the most commonly asked questions about the Catholic Faith will be released as an online video resource.  The study is called 'Why We Believe | Rediscover Your Faith'.  This study will be made available to  every person  in the diocese of Houma-Thibodaux free of charge.  Each church parish will also host at least one meeting a week on site.  

Dr. Brant Pitre, professor of Sacred Scripture at Notre Dame Seminary and native of this diocese, has partnered  with us to create this study.  He is our presenter throughout the study.

The 8 parts are as follows:

Week 1:  Does God Exist?

Week 2:  Is Jesus God?

Week 3:  Peter and the Papacy

Week 4:  How We Got the Bible

Week 5:  The Eucharist: Jesus’ Real Presence?

Week 6:  Why Confess to a Priest?

Week 7:  Do Catholics Worship Mary?

Week 8:  Purgatory and Prayers for the Dead

Each week's study will include a 35-minute video with Dr. Pitre, downloadable notes to follow along with him, and a list of resource links for further study of the topic at hand.

These 8 videos will post on our website each week, starting September 10 and will thereafter remain on website there for your use.
