on this website to find out
about the latest bible studies
and the different happenings
in Adult Religious Formation.
Just before Jesus ascends into heaven he instructs his apostles, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses here and to the ends of the earth”. (Acts 1:8)
Peter’s speech at Pentecost ends this way, “And it shall be that everyone shall be saved who calls on the name of the Lord.” (Acts 2:21)
Jesus teaching, “Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.”(Matthew 5:16)
Jesus on the greatest Commandment, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”(Luke 10:27)
Today in the wonder of God’s gracious plan we must look for opportunities to proclaim the Good News of Jesus to everyone. Every disciple of the Lord shares in this mission.
To do our part, adult Catholics must be mature in faith and be well equipped to share the Gospel. We must be women and men of prayer whose faith is alive, grounded in a deep commitment to Jesus and his message.
Adult faith formation, should help adults consciously grow in the life of Christ through experience, reflection, prayer and study.

Studying the Bible Scriptures and Faith Sharing Opportunities.
Lectionary Bible Studies are for those who would like to prepare for the Sunday Scripture Readings. They review the readings with commentary and share reflectively on what it means to them.

“Jesus Christ taught that we not only receive and experience the mercy of God, but that we are also called to practice mercy towards others. ‘Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy.’ The Church sees in these words a call to action, and she tries to practice mercy.”
Pope John Paul II
