Adult Formation

Study · Conversation · Deeper learning

The faith is not finished when the last sacrament of initiation is received. Adults in this parish continue to study, to ask questions, and to grow in the understanding of what the Church teaches and lives.

Formation for adults may take the form of a study group, a seasonal series, a quiet reading of a text, or a conversation after Mass. The calendar will carry the times and places.

The windows of this church were given “in memory of,” “by the family of,” “by the children of.” Those inscriptions are not decoration. They are the record of people who belonged to this parish across generations and who still belong to it. Adult formation is one way the living keep faith with them.
