My Catholic Faith
The Book of Revelation - NEXT CLASS, MON FEB 13th, 7pm, Parish Hall, Lower LevelOur pastor, Fr. Brian Doerr, has long enjoyed studying the Book of Revelation. The book is the center of much discussion and even futuristic speculation. What is really happening in the Book of Revelation? What is the message St. John is attempting to communicate? Does the book impact the future of the world? Can any of this be ascertained or interpreted by modern Christians? The mark of the beast, the anti-Christ, the whore of Babylon, 666, God's wrath... and the victory of the Divine Lamb, it will all be discussed and revealed. YES! There are answers to these questions.
