"Disciples young and old are called by name to go into the vineyard. In responding to this call, adults 'have the greatest responsibilities and the capacity to live the Christian message in its fully developed form.' Their formation in faith is essential for the Church to carry out its mandate to proclaim the Good News of Jesus to the world."

Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, 38
USCCB, A Pastoral Plan for Adult Faith Formation in the United States

Adult Faith Formation

Adult faith formation, by which people consciously grow in the life of Christ through experience, reflection, prayer, and study, must be the "the central task in [this] catechetical enterprise," becoming "the axis around which revolves the catechesis of childhood and adolescence as well as that of old age." (OHWB #5)
The US Council of Catholic Bishops outlined the three key goals of Adult Faith Formation:
  • Inviting and enabling ongoing conversion to Jesus in holiness of life
  • Promoting and supporting active membership in the Christian community
  • Calling and preparing adults to act as disciples in mission to the world​
January through Lent Adult Faith Formation
The Wild Goose, a DVD series that invites Catholics into a more profound relationship with the Holy Spirit, will begin on Sunday, January 7th.  Each session will begin with a 20 minute film presentation, followed by prayer and discussion.  The Wild Goose highlights God's love for us, Baptism along with the Sacraments, the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, and many more aspects of our personal relationship with God through the Holy Spirit.  Sessions will be held on Sunday evening at St. Mary from 6:30 - 7:30pm, or Tuesday evenings at St. Henry, babysitting available upon request on Tuesdays. Come to the first session, and you won't want to miss any of them!
