The Catholicism Project

The Church of St. Ann in Lawrenceville, NJ is hosting for the second year in a row, the Catholicism Project, a unique, epic, media experience, filmed in over 50 locations in 15 different countries. Through a stimulating and compelling exploration of the spiritual and intellectual riches of the Catholic world, acclaimed author, theologian, and speaker Robert Barron uses art, architecture, literature, music, and all the treasures of the Catholic tradition to illuminate the teachings of the Church. In ten episodes from this made-for-TV series, participants will explore, through a global journey, the living culture of the Catholic Church.

The Catholicism Project will begin with episode one, "Amazed and Afraid" on Tuesday evening, September 10, 7:00 to 8:30 PM, and repeated again on Wednesday afternoon, 1:30 to 3:00 PM. In this episode, Robert Barron illuminates and explains the conviction of the Catholic faith that Jesus of Nazareth is the promised Messiah, and the revelation of God become man. He shows how Jesus fulfills the four tasks of the Messiah, according to the Old and New Testaments, and how the living legacy of Christ, God and Messiah, is proclaimed by the Church. He addresses some of the most controversial questions about the life and identity of Jesus Christ, and travels through the mysterious and sacred places of the Holy Land of Israel and the city of Rome.

This event is free and open to the public. All sessions are at the Church of St. Ann (1253 Lawrence Road, Lawrencevill). For details, call Gary Maccaroni at 882-6491, ext. 116, or email gmacc@churchofsaintann.net.
