People of Faith is an intergenerational gathering that will deepen our understanding of the Catholic faith and challenge us to live our faith more fully. People of Faith is an opportunity to share a meal, get to know fellow parishioners, and deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ. The concept of lifelong learning invites each of us to continuously grow in our faith by learning and sharing with others in our community.
We share a meal (breakfast or dinner, depending on what is best for your household). Next, we introduce the theme through prayer, song or drama. Then, we break into age specific groups to experience the theme through age-appropriate discussion and activities.
Everyone! Households without children, households with children, households with singles,
households with teens...Everyone!

Sunday mornings at 11:00, and Sunday evenings at 5:00.
The session dates are:
You can fill out our online form coming later this summer & pay using e-Giving. Registration tables will also be set up in the Commons in September.
All materials will be provided at our sessions. Furthermore, "Home Kits" will be distributed at each monthly People of Faith Gathering. The kit will provide households with resources for continuing your faith journey at home.
We still have Junior and Senior Youth Groups, Liturgy of the Word for Children, Children's Faith Adventures, Adult Bible/Book Study, and Adult Faith Formation opportunities that we have had in the past. We no longer have our weekly Sunday Children's Faith Formation program (Religious Ed) in the same "classroom" context as it was previously done. Instead, families are the primary catechists for their children. Resources are provided to families to guide the at-home learning and connect with the grade level catechists. Sacrament Preparation for Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Confirmation includes additional family workshops and youth sessions.
