Adult Faith Formation

Adult Faith Formation 

Faith Formation is an ongoing responsibility in our Catholic Faith. As adults, we are to commit to a lifelong journey of understanding our faith, proclaiming our faith, and living out our faith. Adult faith formation has become an important part of our parish life.
Our "team" strives to offer a variety of means to help our parishioners through their journey through workshops, retreats, parish missions, dynamic speakers, seminars, programs, small groups, etc.
Any adult parishioners interested in growing in their faith are welcome to join our team and most importantly to attend the events.

Just a reminder if you are looking for some good spiritual programs, books, movies, family entertainment be sure to check out FORMED.  Remember this is a gift from the parish for us all to enjoy, it is like a Catholic Netflix.  You will be surprised all it offers.

Adult Bible Study

Fall Bible Study - Life Everlasting

Have you ever wondered what happens after we die?

We will be offering Life Everlasting: Heaven, Hell, Death, and Judgment, a five-session mini-study that explores what the Church teaches about the Last Things.

Through clear teaching, meaningful reflection, and practical application, each session will help you understand the realities of death, judgment, heaven, and hell and why these teachings are not meant to cause fear but to inspire hope and deeper trust in God’s promise of eternal life.

With powerful videos and easy-to-follow readings, you will gain a deeper understanding of the Last Things while discovering how living with eternity in mind gives everyday life greater meaning and purpose.

Whether you are new to exploring these questions or looking to deepen your understanding of the Faith, this study will help you reflect on God’s promise of eternal life in a whole new way

We will offer Sundays at 6 PM, the following dates:
September 13, 20, 27 & October 11,18

Wednesdays at 9 AM, the following dates:
September 16, 23, 30 & October 14, 21
