The Mystery of God

Who God is and Why He Matters

Word on Fire, Bishop Robert Barron

January 7 - February 11, 2026

 Atheism is on the rise. How can we turn the tide of secularism and draw people back to God? 


Skeptical thinkers like Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris vigorously attack belief in God as irrational or, even worse, dangerous. The so-called New Atheism has attracted millions of young people thanks to bestselling books such as The God Delusion and God Is Not Great.


Who is God? Why does he matter? In Mystery of God, you'll not only discover the answers yourself, but also how to share them with others, especially those who no longer believe.


We will conduct this study in six (6) 90-minute sessions which includes the weekly 45-50 minute video; session overviews; questions & responses; and, discussion points. Sessions will be conducted IN-PERSON ONLY in the Christian Formation Center (CFC) on Wednesday mornings (January 7 – February 11) from 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 with Deacon Al Barros & Deacon Barry Taylor.  


To register, complete the form to the right OR call the Christian Formation office at 302-644-7413.  Deadline to register is Wednesday, December 17, 2025. A suggested donation of $40 is requested.
