Ministry Opportunities - Get Involved and Live the Gospel
Adult Faith Formation
This ministry provides various opportunities for one to attend or volunteer. We have regular studies on Sacred Scripture and spiritually enhancing topics, guest speakers for the parish, marriage building events / groups, seasonal events and much more. This is a dynamic ministry so if you feel there is a type of educational / formational group that would benefit you and the parish, feel free to let us know. One need we have is for married couples to volunteer for our Marriage Preparation Ministry.
