Adult Faith Formation

The primary purpose of the Adult Education and Spiritual Formation Ministry is to develop and present to the parish adult education courses designed to foster knowledge of Sacred Scripture and a clear understanding of the Catholic faith. In a process of life long formation, adults are encouraged to explore Catholic teachings, practices, and forms of prayer to assist them in their call to missionary discipleship.

 Join Fr. Charles for interesting discussions on various faith related topics.

RCIA:

The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is the process established by the universal Church for individuals to become Catholic and receive the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist. It is for those who  have not been baptized and would like to join the Catholic Church, for those who have been baptized in another Christian denomination and seek full reception into the Catholic Church, and for those who were baptized as Catholics but have not received the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.

Those inquiring into the possibility of joining the Church meet weekly with the pastoral staff and volunteers who represent the parish in welcoming and accompanying them on their faith journey.

Sessions are held on Thursday evenings at 7:00 PM in the Conference Room

BIBLE STUDIES:
Throughout the year we offer various bible studies such as The Great Adventure with Jeff Cavins,  Mary Queen of Heaven, the Gospel of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Acts of the Apostles, Revelation, Corinthians and weekly Bible Studies on the Sunday readings.  These studies will help to give you a better understanding of Sacred Scripture, and a deeper awareness of how the word of God relates to your life. Check the calendar for upcoming studies. 

ADULT CATECHESIS:
Classes in Adult Catechesis such as Symbolon from the Augustine Institute, and the Catholicism Project of Bishop Robert Barron are periodically offered. The Parish has access to FORMED, a website with rich catholic content including Bible Studies, Catechesis, Movies and programs for Children and Youth. 
This Summer we are encouraging viewing "SALVATION," a study on the History of our salvation with Dr. Michael Barber.  To access click the "FORMED" link below.
