Adult Faith Formation

Adult Faith Formation is based on the framework promulgated in 2013 by Cardinal DiNardo, Archbishop of Galveston-Houston.  The curriculum will be divided into four units that address specific themes or topics:  

Unit 1- Jesus Christ
Unit 2- Prayer and Sacraments
Unit 3- Morality
Unit 4- Missionary Discipleship 

Adults who register for this formation model will receive a formation calendar a month before the formation model begins. This calendar will include: weekly topic to be studied at home, the resources to use, and the times the group will meet digitally.   

In addition, those who register for this formation model will receive an email every Monday with detailed information and resources they need for that particular week.  These emails will serve as reminders and will offer guidance.  

The digital meetings will happen after each unit has been completed.  They are designed to strengthen community life and give those in formation an opportunity to debrief, ask questions, and discuss in greater depth the topic for each unit. 

The meetings will be online, on Thursdays from 7 pm to 8:30 pm on the following dates:

October 1- introduction/orientation
October 22- unit 1 review
November 19- unit 2 review
December 17- unit 3 review
February 4- check in and overview for unit 4
March 24- unit 4 review
April 15- end of year review

This formation model is designed for adults that do not have children in the home.  We highly encourage adults who register for this model to have access to a Catholic Bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and to the United States Catechism for Adults.  We will supply digital versions of all three.  

Please use the form below to register for free!

Currently, we are seeking more adults who feel called to be catechists or small group leaders.

*Catechists are adults who are well formed in the faith and are able to record videos from home to present one of the topics. Videos are due to the staff two weeks prior their topic is to be discussed.

*Small Group Leaders are adults who are well formed in the faith and are able to lead the digital meetings and facilitate the discussion.  

Training and support will be provided all throughout the catechetical year to all catechists and small group leaders.
