A Clear Path of Discipleship If you’ve ever thought about growing in your faith, or getting involved at Church, you know that it can be a little overwhelming. What class should you join? What ministry to get involved in? Where do I start? There are thousands of great Catholic books, courses, and programs out there. It can be hard to make a decision. You may realize you start a few things, only to get burnt out or frustrated. Church shouldn’t be overwhelming. That’s why we created the Clear Path of Discipleship.
