Adult Faith Formation
logo

The Church's catechetical mission aims to help the faithful of all ages to grow in both human and Christian maturity, enriching the whole of life with the leaven of the Gospel.

Faith formation helps adults make "a conscious and firm decision to live the gift and choice of faith through membership in the Christian community."

Luke tells the story of Jesus of Nazareth as a mighty prophet and Savior of the world in fulfillment of Old Testament expectations.  Luke also emphasizes Jesus as a person dedicated to prayer.  He begins with Jesus' virginal conception and birth, and follows Jesus through his public ministry to his passion, death, resurrection, and ascension into heaven - all under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  Luke, along with Matthew and Mark, is one of the synoptic gospels.  It is the primary gospel of the year "C" in the Catholic Church's liturgical cycle, the current cycle.

Women, would you like to have a better understanding of your faith and learn more about God? Are you stretched and would like a way to refuel and be refreshed while making authentic connections with others? If so, we invite you to consider joining Walking With Purpose (WWP), a Catholic bible study for women. Through personal study and small group discussions, WWP helps link our everyday challenges to solutions given to us through the teachings of Christ and the Church.

WWP will meet on Thursdays from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m., from early October through late April. We do not meet during holidays or school vacations. Free childcare is available.
