Whether youÔÇÖre a Catholic or not, you may be totally clueless or just unaware of some aspects of Catholic traditions, history, doctrine, worship, devotion, or culture. No sweat. Regardless of whether youÔÇÖre engaged, married, related to a Catholic, or just curious about what Catholics really do believe, this book is for you.
