Veritas 2025 Theme: The Church Fathers
In the first centuries of the Church, these men defended the faith with eloquent writings, sophisticated theology, and steady witness to Christ until death. Their writings reveal to us the ancient worship of Christians, the communion within the Church in the earliest times, and the early conceptualization of doctrines with which we are now familiar.
Come learn about the early Church and those Christian witnesses whose lives still enrich us today!
