“ Why Catholicism?’ (For those seeking to enter the Catholic Church or complete Sacraments)
- Are you an adult who has always wondered what the Catholic Church teaches and believes?
- Were you brought up Catholic but, do not feel confident answering questions about the faith to others?
- Do you need to complete your Sacraments?
- Maybe you have been attending Mass and now would like to become Catholic.
- Do you know an adult who is interested in learning more about the Catholic faith?
“Why Catholicism?" (For those seeking to enter the Catholic Church or complete Sacraments) is our way of welcoming new/current adult members more fully into the Catholic Church. It consists of a series of gatherings with other adults who are also interested in learning more about God’s love in the Catholic Church. The meetings begin with a dinner together each week at 6:30 PM and are held on Thursdays starting in September.
For more information, contact one of the following:
- Fr. Christopher DiTomo at (847) 669-3137, ext. 103
- Shirley Allen, Director of Adult Faith Formation, at (224) 654-8596 , Sallen@stmaryhuntley.org
We’d be honored to walk the way of faith with you.

THAT MAN IS YOU
That Man Is You! is a men’s program that is spreading around the world and is truly changing
men and their families.
The program is unlike anything else that you’ve experienced. It tackles real issues facing real men. It looks at the leadership role that has been entrusted to men and addresses the temptations and struggles men face in a culture that attacks authentic manhood. Finally, it helps formulate a plan that allows men to overcome these obstacles.
The best way to judge a program is by its success. Men who’ve attended the program and have been Catholic their whole lives say this is the program they’ve been waiting for. They consider it a “home run”, saying it is hard to imagine how the program content could get any better. Priests say that it literally transforms men and saves marriages. It’s that powerful.
