Adult Faith Formation
2011-2012

Growing in faith is a life-long process that involves learning, sharing, reflecting, praying and doing! This year an exciting array of opportunities is offered, and all adults of the parish are invited. Choose what fits you!

Into the Fields

"Into the Fields" is a wonderful opportunity to embark on a journey of Spiritual Growth, increase your  knowledge of the Catholic faith, and learn strategies and skills to assist you in sharing your faith in ministry - with your family and in your life beyond the church walls.  This program is ideal for those involved in Religious Education, Youth Ministry, Ministry leadership, and all others who are interested.  We will meet for 10 three-hour sessions on the following Monday evenings:
