Adult Faith Formation

Faith Formation for Adults

 Mission   


The mission of the Adult Faith Formation team is to provide opportunities for parishioners to learn, practice and enhance their experience of faith. The team seeks to achieve these goals by providing opportunities for intellectual, spiritual and pastoral formation in the Catholic faith tradition. This will be accomplished in different ways including lectures, conferences, study groups, and retreats, all of which invite the creation of Christian communities.
