Adult Faith Formation
Parishioners, neighbors, and friends are always welcome at Parish events, programs, and, of course, at Mass. We have a number of ministries and programs for adults that offer community, support, prayer experiences, and opportunities to learn about our Catholic faith.
"The Search" is a video-based program designed to enkindle wonder as it takes you on a journey through life’s enduring questions.
