We provide a wide variety of opportunities for adults to nourish and grow in their Catholic Faith such as Bible Studies, guest speaker luncheons, small group

"In every age the Church has called upon the arts to give expression to the beauty of her faith and to proclaim the gospel message of the grandeur of God's creation, the dignity of human beings made in his image and likeness, and the power of Christ's death and resurrection to bring redemption and rebirth to a world touched by the tragedy of sin and death..."
~ Pope Francis

Pope Francis reminds us that “living the Christian life…is a lifelong commitment to getting to know Jesus through prayer and studying His word.” Our goal in Adult Faith Formation is to help facilitate this lifelong journey. One way we promote this is through our monthly Adult Faith Newsletters found here. Blessings ~
