Discover the Beauty of the Catholic Faith at Assumption Church – Aug. 25

Are you or someone you know searching for a deeper meaning in their life? Do you feel a calling to connect with God? Let Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in O’Fallon be the place where your spiritual journey begins.


Join Father Nick Kastenholz, Pastor of Assumption Church in the Parish Hall, 403 North Main Street, Tuesday, Aug. 25, from 7-8:30 p.m., for an inspiring presentation, ‘Overview of the Catholic Faith.’ Open to anyone 16 years of age and older, this event offers a unique opportunity to explore the rich history, beliefs and sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church, and discover how Catholics embraced Jesus Christ as their savior.

“This is your invitation to experience the fullness of the Catholic faith,” says Father Nick. “It’s a chance to listen to God’s call, deepen your relationship with Him, and take steps toward becoming part of the Catholic Church.” ​

Whether you are seeking answers about the Catholic faith or simply longing for community, this presentation is the perfect opportunity to grow spiritually alongside fellow parishioners. ​

Who Should Attend?

This event is especially designed for those who:

  • Were baptized in another faith tradition or baptized Catholic but never received formal religious education or additional sacraments. ​
  • Are unbaptized and feel the need to develop a relationship with God. ​
  • Are married to a Catholic, attend Mass, and want to take the next steps to join the Catholic Church. ​

Don’t miss this chance to explore the Catholic faith in a welcoming and supportive environment with question and answer time at the end, and information about how to take the next steps.
