Adult Faith Formation - CALLED VII

NEW! The CALLED program returns this fall
with NEW FORMAT and NEW CURRICULUM!

Same dynamic instructors, more relaxed atmosphere, less in-class time commitment. Meetings will be once a month on Saturdays in a seminar format. This Adult Faith Formation Program is especially attractive to adults seeking knowledge and spiritual growth to more fully live the call to leadership and discipleship. Beginning in September 2007. Participants include men and women of all ages and backgrounds. The common bond is a willingness to grow in your faith, learn about the teachings of the Catholic church, and have a desire to develop leadership skills and a commitment to ministry.

• Each seminar day will have reflection time built in.
• Each instructor will provide a syllabus.
• Each instructor will assign at least one book to read.
• Each instructor will recommend one film to watch.
• Students will do a short written assignment to prepare for discussion.
