"Adult faith formation, by which people consciously grow in the life of Christ through experience, reflection, prayer, and study, must be "the central task in the catechetical enterprise," becoming "the axis around which revolves the catechesis of childhood and adolescence as well as that of old age."  Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, #5

Small group faith sharing or formation groups are invited to form and meet in available parish space or in members’ homes. A wide variety of resources are available from those based on scripture study, to reflecting on the Sunday readings, to studies focused on various topics such as Sacraments, Social Justice, Evanglium Gaudium, Amoris Gaudium and other Church documents. A list of resources and websites will be posted on the parish website. FORMED.org is also available for small group or individual use.  For more information or an opportunity to view resources contact Linda Krehmeier at the parish office.
