If your parish hasn't yet done a big presentation of Catholicism    then hurry, HURRY, and get one started. It is a superb teaching tool, and a visual feast...

Joanna,
My old parish (St. Michael's Community Chapel on the United States Air Force Academy)presented that series two summers ago and I enrolled in the class. It was a beautifully done series. I'm sure that you will enjoy it!
