In “THE FAITH WE LIVE” nationally renowned Catholic presenters Doug and Dave bring the joy and mission of our Catholic Faith through rich sketches, quirky characterizations, and Holy-Spirit-filled music, leaving audiences open to how God can work through the each of us in our everyday life and through the treasures of the Mass and the Church! Their distinctive blend of entertainment, cleverly mixed with evangelization, is a hit with all ages: teens, senior citizens, families, children and adults… there is something for everyone. Each night is different, so we encourage you to come to all three nights!

Everyone is invited and encouraged to participate.
