What is Adult Faith Fomation?
"The Church's catechetical mission aims to help the faithful of all ages to grow in both human and Christian maturity, enriching the whole of life with the leaven of the Gospel" (Excerpt from "Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us: A Pastoral Plan for Adult Faith Formation in the United States"). The Christian Faithful of every church parish must seek to grow in all the faith dimensions of adult life. This includes understanding and communicating the faith, skills needed for personal growth, the experience of family life, relationships, public service, and concern for the common good.
Three major goals of Catholic Adult Faith Formation- Invite and Enable Ongoing Conversion to Jesus in Holiness of Life
- Promote and Support Active Membership in the Christian Community
- Call and Prepare Adults to Act as Disciples in Mission to the World
Ideas are welcome
The activities of parish Adult Faith Formation change from year to year. If any of the Christian faithful have an idea to help grow faith formation at St. Joseph Catholic Church, they are encouraged to speak with a member of the clergy, the Religious Education Coordinator, or a member of the Parish Pastoral Council.
