Adult Faith Formation

Our adult faith formation ministry engages the particular needs and interests of adults in our local community. The adult faith formation ministry will provide a comprehensive presentation and exploration of the core elements of Catholic faith and practice-a complete initiation into a Catholic way of life. (USCCB, 2023)
