Adult Discipleship

“… adult Catholics must be mature in faith and well equipped to share the Gospel, promoting it in every family circle, in every church gathering, in every place of work, and in every public forum.  They must be women and men of prayer whose faith is alive and vital, grounded in a deep commitment to the person and message of Jesus” (USCCB, Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us: A Pastoral Plan for Adult Faith Formation, #2).

Our goal is to help form our parishioners into missionary disciples. We offer:

• Regular retreats (Light of the World, San Juan, San Andres/St. Andrew, and more)
• The Rescue Project/El Proyecte Rescato
• Young Adult Ministry
• Small Church Discipleship communities (usually formed from retreat participants)
• The Well Women’s Ministry
• Knights of Columbus/Los Caballeros de Colon
• Adult Sunday School
• Bible Studies
