Bishop Cunningham has written a letter endorsing RENEW International’s new evangelization and adult faith formation process, Why Catholic?: Journey Through The Catechism.  He is encouraging parishes and parishioners to participate in Why Catholic? which will help awaken and clarify their Catholic faith.   The Bishop states in his letter “I am convinced that the revitalization of parish life and the mission of handing on the faith are dependent on placing more energy and resources to the ongoing faith life of adults.”
