FAITH FORMATION RE-IMAGINED: JOIN US
Through Faith Formation, we are prepared to grow and support one another in our rich Catholic Faith!
Faith Formation is not about what you “get” out of it, it is not a CONSUMABLE product. It IS a lifelong process of investing in one another (The Body of Christ) in faith, challenging and stretching our spiritual muscles to grow and strengthen, and linking arms with the Family of God as we learn to be Disciples of Jesus.
The Holy Spirit moves in and through the gathered family of God as we listen, share inspirations and feel safe enough to voice our doubts and questions. Relationships/ friendships deepen. Trust happens. Spiritual growth blossoms and matures, leading to appreciation and understanding of the presence of God in our daily lives. This in turn, prompts us from within to share the GOOD NEWS through our actions and our words.
YOUR PRESENCE MATTERS.
