ADult formation events and classes
|
We are working on new opportunities for adult faith formation all the time, some of which are especially suited for those looking to renew their understanding of our Catholic faith and practice. Look for the Roots of Our Faith logo that indicates those classes that relate to the fundamentals of our Catholic faith!
Please email Dr. Chris Diffenderfer, Director of Faith Formation, with any questions about our Faith Formation classes and events. |
CURRENT opportunities
Don't hesitate to join us for classes that are currently meeting and if you may miss a session or two. Registration is free (it helps us know how many guides to provide), and we can help you catch up on missed sessions. Any time you can make it will be rich and informative!

Past classes
The Shape of Our Liturgy
Held January 8, 15, 22, and 29, 2020
In this first of our Roots of Our Faith series of classes, we explored the shape of our liturgy, its origins, and some of the reasons we do what we do in the mass. Each week we considered a part of the four-fold order of our worship (the introductory rites, the liturgy of the Word, the liturgy of the Eucharist, and the concluding rites) and how each is meant to shape our identity in Christ and build up the body of Christ for his mission in and for the world.
