Adult Formation

"Christians are made, not born," said the early Church theologian Tertullian (c. 200C.E.), and his statement is just as accurate today as it was in Tertullian’s day. Becoming a Christian is a life-long process which begins at baptism and continues throughout our lives. It is truly a “womb-to-tomb” process. Adult Formation Ministries seek to deepen our spirituality, to expand our understanding and knowledge of our faith, and strengthen our ability to live out our commitment to the Gospel in our daily lives. St. Paul said, “All of us, gazing. . . on the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory. . .” (2 Cor 3:18). The goal of Adult Formation is to conform each disciple more clearly to the image of Christ.

Adult Formation takes place in many ways and in many venues:
