Faith Formation for Adults
Small Faith Sharing Communities are ongoing in our parish with approximately 20 groups meeting in individual homes. We come together weekly to study and reflect on the scriptures for the upcoming Sunday.
Everyone is welcome to join. If you are interested in improving your relationship with God and your fellow parishioners, this is a great opportunity for you to increase your awareness of the power of God within us and within others. You will become more aware of God's presence on a day to day basis. Contact June Tarangelo.

The Cursillo
Movement is a worldwide movement begun in Spain in 1949 within the Catholic
Church. The overall mission of Cursillo is to make the world more Christ-like
through the actions and examples of its members in their church and in
the environment in which they live and work.
The Cursillo method begins with a three day weekend. The weekend for men
and the weekend for women are held separately, about one month apart.
This is followed with the “Fourth Day” programs with weekly
group reunion meetings and larger group reunions called Ultreyas. This
is the method for “making” a Cursillo for the rest of our
lives.
Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA)
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process of discernment and education for people interested in knowing more about the Catholic faith, and possibly becoming a member of the Catholic Church. All adults who have not been baptized and wish to become Catholic and those baptized in another Christian faith may participate in this process to come into full communion with the Catholic Church.
RCIA sponsors are needed to support our candidates and catechumens on
their faith journeys.
