The “Three Things Talks” is a series which addresses issues of
Catholic belief and teaching. The talks are primarily intended for
adult Catholics who want to know more about their faith, and also
for those who are interested in what Catholics believe. All are
welcome, including family and friends, and fellow parishioners.
Each year the Department of Theology and Religious Studies of
St. John’s University, Jamaica, Queens sponsors a series of talks
for the People of God in the surrounding Dioceses of Brooklyn and
Rockville Center. Entitled the “Three Things Catholics Should Know
Series,” these presentations seek to foster catechesis and
continuing education among Catholics and other interested people.
This year we are pleased to announce the following topics and
presenters for Fall 2011.
