Ep. 20: What the Church Believes – Catechesis and the Fullness of Truth (Sr. Elizabeth Ann, O.P.)

Sr. Miriam sits down with Sr. Elizabeth Ann, O.P., to explore one of the Church's most essential missions — passing on the faith in its fullness. Together they dive into what catechesis truly is, why it matters far beyond a classroom, and how the Church has always understood itself as a community called to hand on the living truth of the Gospel from one generation to the next. Central to their conversation is Echoing the Mystery [https://shop.openlightmedia.com/product/echoing-the-mystery-compact-edition/], a beautifully crafted catechetical resource, designed to help Catholics encounter the deposit of faith not just as information to be learned, but as a mystery to be lived. If you've ever wondered what it really means to know and share what the Church believes, this episode is for you.
