ADULT FORMATION According to "Our Hearts were Burning within Us, "To teach as Jesus did means calling and equipping all Christians of every age and stage of life to fulfill their baptismal call to holiness in family, Church, and society -- their mission to evangelize and transform the world into a more caring and just society. Ongoing faith formation is essential to accomplish this mission; it does not end at Confirmation or graduation but continues until one's death." Our parish has many opportunities for continued spiritual growth and development for adults. For more information, or call Kay Kaffer at 946-1154 Ext. 222.
