Grow in Faith with Adult Faith Formation
It's not just about "classes."
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
faith sharing, pilgrimages, book discussions, faith-based movies and more.
All are welcome.

Monthly Newsletters
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 ~
