Adult Formation

Adult Forum is currently on our summer break, and will begin meeting again the Sunday after Labor Day.  Below is an overview of a program we completed together this past Spring.  In the fall, we will adopt and continue with another organized program, much like the one mentioned below.  This page will be updated again once we have settled on the program for the fall.

​

Adult Forum recently concluded a new curriculum called "Lift Up Your Hearts".  It was a prayerful and thought-provoking examination of our Sunday Eucharistic Service, and the meaning and history behind the stages of our Sunday worship.  We met each Sunday starting at 10:20 am in the classroom closest to the kitchen in the Parrish hall.  All are welcome.  We're very excited by this program, and were pleased by the turn out.
