Adult Faith Formation
Catholic faith formation nurtures conversion that is directed not only toward service of the believing community, but also to society at large. Jesus called his disciples to go out to all the world to spread the good news of salvation. Catholics do this when they use their gifts and talents in the service of others. By evangelization, proclaiming the Good News of Christ. This is not just a matter of preaching, but showing kindness and charity to others. Faith formation nurtures the mind and the heart so that the gospel message may be evidenced by words and deeds.
All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.
2 Timothy 3:16
Adult Faith Formation Classes
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults)
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a faith formation process through which non-baptized adults or baptized adults of a different Christian denomination may enter into full Communion with the Catholic Church. Baptized Catholics who have not received the sacraments of Eucharist and/or Confirmation may also join this process.
RCIA is also a great place to ask questions and explore the faith to see if it is right for you. We invite you to join us and find where God may be calling you.

Let's Learn Together
"Catholic education aims not only to communicate facts but also to transmit a coherent, comprehensive vision of life, in the conviction that the truths contained in that vision liberate students in the most profound meaning of human freedom."
