Adult Education
The art of adult education for our parish is evolving. Along with the already existing programs we are looking to expand opportunities for English and Spanish speaking adults to come together and grow together. One parishioner shared, “The more I experience and understand my faith the happier and more grateful I am…and kids catch the spirit if we are happy!” Another said, “Even if our language is limited “our words have power” and, in sharing our stories and the love of Christ with each other, there are many “benedictions – little blessings”.
We pass on from generation to generation what we learn. Adult education gatherings invite us to understand more deeply the truths we may already know; to deepen our community experience; to “come and see” how we can love and support one another through the joys and challenges of our lives; to share our stories and help each other awaken to the connection of our stories and God’s story; to be enriched and empowered to be all that we are in Christ and to let our ministry flow out of that place.
You are invited to follow up with the contacts below for more information about a particular program that interests you.

WHY STAY CATHOLIC?
A new book by Michael Leach.
“Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”.
“The baby is precious, it’s real,
it never grows old, can still give you joy, peace, and assurance,
AND it’s not dependent on people.”
