“Every disciple of the Lord Jesus shares in this mission [of the Church]. To do their part, 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 adult faith formation series for Fall 2020:
The Catholic Faith & Public Life
With Election 2020 close at hand, and with all the punditry we see & hear from newspapers, websites, & cable networks, we need to understand how to engage with our fellow Americans from a Catholic perspective.
AND, we need to learn how to live together AFTER the election, no matter which candidate wins.
Our latest series will be available on Derek Rotty’s website each Friday morning through November 6. Click the image to access that site.

In order to form our parishioners as missionary disciples, we also offer:
Light of the World Parish Retreat
Twice each year, our parishioners are invited to engage in this life-changing retreat. It is developed by parishioners, for parishioners.
Small Church Discipleship Communities
After the Light of the World Retreat, parishioners have the opportunity to continue gathering with others who are on the journey of faith.
Special events, such as Chris Stefanick’s Reboot! LIVE! (hosted in September 2017)
We also have access for our parish to the BEST CATHOLIC FAITH FORMATION available online. We have a parish subscription to FORMED.org that allows adults, teens, & children to learn more about living their Catholic faith, from ANYWHERE. If you haven’t registered, do it today! You’ll need our parish code (M6J2VY) the first time you register.
