“I’m Glad You Asked!”
This is also a copyright publication of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Picayune. One day at Mass, Father John Noone asked the parishioners to jot down questions they had about the faith. Over the course of the next year or so, he addressed every one of the questions during an appropriate Homily. The booklet includes every one of those questions along with short, concise answers. These are real answers to real questions! Had a question about the Catholic Church lately? Chances are it’s in here.
