What is it?

Do you know your family history? The history of the Church is the story of our family. It is the epic story of our ancestors in the Faith – the heroic men and women who shaped civilization and spread the Gospel throughout the world. Knowing this story is crucial to our identity as Catholics. Just as we would uncover exciting and interesting stories of our ancestors through the study of our family genealogy, we can uncover our Catholic past through the study of Church history.

Many in our society misunderstand and even attack our Church for the supposed misdeeds of the past. Topics such as the Crusades, the “Inquisition”, and Galileo are used in an attempt to discredit the Church and her role in the world. What is the truth concerning these events and persons? How can you answer the objections?

Join us for this exciting journey through Church history and you will:

• Learn about the major people, places, and events of the two-thousand years of Church history.
• Remember the 12 time periods of Church history using a unique color-coded system.
• Learn the true story of the Crusades.
• Understand the rationale for the medieval inquisitors.
• Discover the revolutionary character of the Protestant Reformation.
• Discover the persecution of Christians in the 20th century.
• Learn about the workings of the Holy Spirit throughout Church history... and much more!
