The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops describes adult faith formation as an essentail process inviting Catholic Christians to integrate their own life experiences with knowledge of the faith, love of God, and love of neighbor.
There are a variety of options for Adult Faith Formation at Holy Spirit parish! We have ongoing groups that have been meeting for many years and scheduled sessions for the upcoming academic year that gather for a specific topic.
Our ONGOING groups include:
Adult Faith Formation selections at Holy Spirit parish for the 2022-2023 academic year are focused on the person of Jesus. From September through early December, we explored Jesus through his Church in the highly acclaimed Catholicism series with Bishop Barron. On November 29th we all paused for an Advent reflection with Fr. James Martin on our relationship with Jesus through prayer. Fr. Martin was engaging and an excellent presenter. From the beginning of January through the first Sunday of Lent, we journeyed with Jesus and his disciples as we viewed and discused season one of the hit series The Chosen. During Lent we held a successful parish mission with Fr. Simeon Gallagher on "Healing Hearts and Homes: Reclaiming Virtues," and currently meeting to read and discuss Fr. Dan Daly's book entitled Jesus and the Barbecued Fish Breakfast. We will finish up the 2022-2023 academic year with a study of the second season of The Chosen.
