Do you sense a desire to go deeper in your relationship with Christ?
Do you have a longing to follow Jesus more closely, to be transformed by him?
Do you notice a stirring inside, a longing to love God with all your heart, but feel unsure what steps to take next?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, know that God is the one who has put those yearnings in your soul. He has already given you the heart of a disciple. This series simply aims to help you follow those initial promptings of the Holy Spirit so that you may more intentionally encounter Jesus anew each day and be more disposed to the power of his grace molding you, transforming you ever more into his likeness.

This series is provided by Formed through the guidance of Edward Sri. Participants will be provided a book to use at home and during sessions on campus. Videos will be provided to be viewed at home, for those who want to. Videos will be shown during the session with time to share insights and engage in discussions during the meetings.

Lectionary-Based Bible Study
Join us on Saturday mornings from 7-8 in the Parish Life Center (PLC) with the 8:30 am Mass following in the Church. Since it is a lectionary-based bible study, it focuses on the Sunday readings. It is led by Deacon Nick Thompson and it is free.

Adult Faith Formation
We offer two formation series a year:

• Fall/Winter/Spring is usually hosted from October through April in the Parish Life Center from 3:30 pm to 4:45 pm with Mass following. The series explores a variety of topics through a diversity of speakers. The sessions are engaging, help strengthen community bonds, and allow for self-reflection. Information about our 2023-2024 series will be available in August of 2023. Stay tuned!

• Summer is usually hosted in June and July.
