Faith Formation
-
-
Faith Formation is a key aspect of our faith. It is part of how we become disciples of Christ and a key part of how we are able to evangelize others. There are three specific age groups that we focus on for Faith Formation: Children, High-School and Adult. We encourage everyone to participate in the opportunities we are able to offer.

Adult faith Formation
We are excited to begin offering Discipleship Quads in each of the parishes. This is one initiative that is just getting started. If you were not able to join us at the start we encourage you to pray about committing to a year long formation process that will begin around Ash Wednesday.
We will be starting to offer more opportunities for adults to grow in their faith and to do so in a group setting. Look in the bulletin and online for upcoming opportunities that will deepen your faith.
Starting post-COVID: Monthly couples dinner. Come back for more details.
