Join us as we listen and learn with Father Mike Schmitz through the Catechism in a Year podcast from Ascension Press, which launched on January 1, 2023.
Saint Pius offered a Catechism 101 session on January 11, and throughout the year will host monthly Catechism Chats - opportunities for parishioners to bring their questions and insights as they journey through the Catechism of the Catholic Church in 2023.

How does it work?
1. If you don't already have a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC), make sure to obtain one. You'll definitely want to be able to read along and even take notes. A digital version can be accessed online for free on the websites of the USCCB. See below for more tips on choosing a print edition of the CCC.
2. Subscribe to the Catechism in a Year podcast published by Ascension Press on your favorite podcast app. The podcast is available on major platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Hallow, Stitcher, and Amazon Music.
3. Start listening to your daily dose of the Catechism with Father Mike Schmitz! Listen, pray, think deeply, take notes, and jot down your questions.
4. Bring your questions and insights to our monthly Catechism Chats to share with other parishioners who are also journeying through the CCC in 2023. See below for the schedule! -
