  • Faith Formation

    • Faith Formation is more than Religious Education. It is certainly about knowledge of the faith, but is also about liturgical education, moral formation, learning to pray, community life, and missionary spirit. The end result of Faith Formation should be a mature adult faith. That means that Faith Formation is not contained to just the sacramental preparation years or that it ends with the reception of Confirmation. Faith Formation continues throughout life!

      Parents are the primary catechists of their children. In all that they say and do, they are passing on the faith. To this end we strive to work cooperatively with parents so that they are well equipped for this responsibility. We welcome parents into the classrooms, provide resources, offer faith formation classes for parents of children in sacramental preparation, and provide other faith formation offerings so that ALL can grow in their faith.

      A Catholic with mature adult faith is one who:

      • Knows the precepts of the faith.
      • Is formed by the liturgy – the readings, homily, songs, prayers, community, and especially the Eucharist.
      • Makes moral decisions prayerfully and with the teachings of the Church in mind.
      • Prays on a regular basis, both individually and communally.
      • Participates actively in the life of the faith community through social, liturgical, formational and outreach activities.
      • Carries out the mission of the Church by serving in local and global ways.
      • Continues growing in the faith throughout their life.

      The parish offers all members access to the FORMED Catholic website. FORMED provides the very best Catholic content from more than 60 organizations to help individuals explore their faith anywhere at anytime. Supporting thousands of movies, children's programs, ebooks, audio, parish programs and studies direct to your browser, mobile or connected device.

    • Adult Faith Formation

      Faith Formation opportunities are offered for adults as follows:
       
      Adult Scripture Study – This group meets on Sunday mornings in the Parish Center following the Parish Faith Formation Program schedule. Materials are included.  Don't miss this "immediate" opportunity to grow in your faith.
       
      Catholic Book Club – This group meets on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the Parish Center for three 6-week sessions per year.

      • Fall Session:  Mid-September through Mid-October 
      • Winter Session: Mid-January through Mid-February 
      • Spring Session: Mid-April through Mid-May 

      Each 6-week session offers the opportunity to read and discuss a book with religious and/or spiritual significance. Meeting times are often enhanced with spiritually based short films that pertain to the theme being explored. Refer to the latest bulletin for further information.  All are welcome to attend!
       
      Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) – While RCIA is intended for those who are discerning becoming full members of the Catholic Church, it offers a great faith formation opportunity for ALL adults. Topics covered include all aspects of the Catholic Faith; from the how and why of what we do to how we live out our faith in every aspect of life. For those who grew up in the Catholic Church and are far-removed from their CCD/Religious Education/Faith Formation days, RCIA offers a great brush-up. Please refer to the schedule for a listing of topics and speakers and come whenever you like! Learn more on the Becoming Catholic page.
       
      For further information, please contact the parish office.
