Adult Faith Formation

Adults do not grow in faith

primarily by learning concepts,
but by sharing the life of the Christian community,
of which adults are members who both

give to and receive of the community.

Adult Catechesis in the Christian Community

Principles and Guidelines

Why Adult Faith Formation?

Adults today face issues that our ancestors never confronted. Furthermore, they confront those issues without the strong family and parish ties that they once had. Through adult faith formation we can provide people with correct information about these issues and help them cope with the challenges of being a disciple of Jesus in today’s world.

The church is concerned about adult faith formation today because it recognizes that unless it intentionally offers opportunities to help adults understand what Catholics believe and shows them how Catholics act, other voices and forces within the culture will influence us to believe and act outside the faith.

Join us for a variety of sacramental preparation sessions, Scripture study, and other exciting adult faith formation opportunities. Note on the left side of this screen “information to download” and see what your parish has to offer as we strive to live as true disciples of Jesus Christ.

For just as from the heavens the rain and snow come down

And do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, Giving seed to him who sows and bread to him who eats,

So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth;

It shall not return to me void, but shall do my will, achieving the end for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55: 10-11
