Why Should I Take the Time out of my busy day to Be Part Of Adult Faith Formation? Well, why not? From the moment of our baptism, we are called to mature and prepare ourselves to bear witness to our Catholic faith. Adult Faith Formation is not a name of a program/ministry; rather it is a verb. Adult formation is essentially a process, not just a program. God created us for an inner desire to understand our own identity and communicate our faith. A living adult faith will continue to grow and develop over time, through our experiences and adapting to changing circumstances. And, like all living things, it will need ongoing nourishment. Faith formation of adults as an essential component of the faith formation of children and youth. We must educate ourselves on our faith so we in turn can educate our children. Adult Faith Formation is also about learning from each other, as well as, developing our faith as a parish community, hence we encourage couples to join. Adult Faith Formation is not exclusively about information; it is primarily about providing opportunities, within a faith context, for adults to talk with other adults about things that matter in our everyday lives. As such, the best process for adult faith formation is not lecture based but rather through open conversations. Good Adult Formation teaches God's mission and practices it by making it tangible in community
So come and enjoy each other’s fellowship through Faith and Food!
