Welcome to St. Patrick's Adult Faith Formation
We are designed by God to seek a deeper relationship with Him and to become “Intentional Disciples”. Here at St. Patrick’s, we strive to enable and support the ongoing faith formation of all our parishioners from infancy through adulthood. We currently offer several opportunities to deepen your faith as an adult and as part of a community. From weekend and daily Masses to weekly Scripture and prayer groups we offer different ways to help you deepen your faith.
Faith Formation for Adults
Opening the Word
Welcome to Opening the Word for women, where we use Sunday's weekly gospel reading to reflect and grow in our faith. Each week we will use the videos and guides produced by the Augustine Institute offering prayer and insights for the Sunday Readings. Opening the Word is designed to facilitate thought and discussion for personal faith formation or in the context of a group meeting. We meet throughout the school year at 9 am in the Conference Room.
Fearless and Free
We are begining our new Walking with Purpose series! This fall we will be working through the book of Ephesians with Fearless and Free by Lisa Brenninkmeyer. We will meet bi monthly on Sept. 5th, Sept. 19th, Oct 3rd, Oct 17th, Nov 7th and Nov 28th.
Weekly Scripture Study
Join Deacon Joe, weekly as he and the other men of the parish discuss the upcoming Sunday's readings. They currently meet every Wednesday at 9:30 am on Zoom and are looking to return in person soon. If you are interested in joining please send Deacon Joe an email for more information.
