Introduction to Ss. John and Paul Faith Formation:
Our Parish Faith Formation is multi-faceted and engages all generations. Participation in parish life is the centerpiece of faith formation – participation in Sunday Mass, the Church Year’s feasts and seasons, sacramental celebrations and Church rituals, prayer traditions and devotions, works of justice and acts of service.
This approach of Lifelong Faith Formation is an integrated journey of the entire Catholic-Christian community, in response to our baptismal call to become members of the Body of Christ, the Church. The goal of all faith formation is growth in faith, leading to a deeper commitment as disciples, who by word and deed, witness God’s unconditional love and care for all.
In all our Parish offerings we are guided by the Essential Dimensions of Lifelong Formation as defined by the Church's General Directory for Catechesis and the US Bishops' document on Adult Faith, "Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us." Liturgical Formation, Knowledge of the Faith, Moral Formation, Prayer, Formation in Community Life and a Missionary Spirit.
Look at the Essential Dimensions document to see how we are cultivating these aspects into the parish life.
