What We’re About
The Living Catholic is a digital initiative guided by Rev. Fr. Okyere to help people understand what the Church teaches and why it matters. We keep it simple, faithful, and relatable—so you can grow in confidence, prayer, and community.
At The Living Catholic, we exist to help young people discover that the Catholic faith is not old, distant, or complicated — it’s alive, beautiful, and deeply relevant to our everyday lives. We know that many have questions, doubts, or even misconceptions about what the Church really teaches, and that’s okay.
This is a space for honest conversations, clear answers, and inspiring stories that connect faith with real life. Through simple explanations, reflections, and creative content, we aim to make Catholicism approachable, joyful, and rooted in truth. Our goal is to help you understand your faith more deeply, live it more confidently, and share it more boldly — because when you truly know your faith, it changes everything.
Frequently asked questions
As Catholics, we’re often asked many thoughtful questions about what we believe and why we practice our faith the way we do. Below are some of the most common ones — along with short, clear answers. For a deeper understanding, you can explore more detailed explanations on our articles.
Do Catholics worship Mary?
No. Catholics worship God alone. We honor Mary as the Mother of Jesus and ask for her prayers—just as we ask faithful friends to pray for us.
Why confess to a priest?
Jesus gave the apostles authority to forgive sins (John 20:22–23). In confession, Christ forgives us through the ministry of the priest.
Is the Mass biblical?
Yes. The structure echoes Scripture—from the Liturgy of the Word to the Eucharist, rooted in the Last Supper (Luke 22) and the early Church (Acts 2:42).
What is the Eucharist?
The Eucharist is Jesus truly present—Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity—given to us as food for our journey of faith.
