Faith Formation
-
-
Education is a vital component of this formation. The parish’s faith formation programs focus on understanding the fullness of the Christian faith so we can deepen our love for God and our neighbor. It’s difficult to love what we don’t understand well.

Rite of Christian Intiation for Adults – please contact Kevin Sullivan, 715-634-2867
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is the means through which adults complete their initiation and are welcomed into the Catholic Church. Individuals come together with members of the faith community to grow in understanding of the Catholic beliefs and practices, share and listen to faith stories and discern the call to our faith community. Along the journey, the faith community celebrates special liturgical and ritual moments with you. The process reaches out to everyone, inviting birth and rebirth in faith.
This track of study is perfect for:- An adult who wants to become Catholic from another or no religious tradition
- A youth (about third grade and older) who has not been Baptized
- An adult who has had consistant Catholic practice but "missed" First Communion or Confirmation
- Adults who are fully intiated (Baptism, Communion, Confirmation) but want a systematic and in-depth study of our faith

Do you want to help inspire, form, and teach the youth of our parish to grow in faith, knowledge, and love of the Lord? We are always looking for faith-filled and willing adults to serve as mentors and witnesses of our faith to lead our faith formation classes/sessions. You do not need a theology degree (although if you have one, let's talk!) and definately do not need "all the answers". Come with a desire to share our great faith. Training, materials, and all the support you will need to be succesful are proovided.

What is the difference in a disciple and apostle? Fr. David says we are all called to be disciples but how do I share my faith with others? If you have a desire to grow in the hearts and habits of discipleship and become more in-tune with the loving action of the Holy Spirit, then connect with Kevin Sullivan in the parish office to learn about a small group formation process that is a gift freely given to help ignite in you a passion for mission!

Our guest speaker, Tim Glemkowski, challenged us - as a parish and individuals - to recognize the apostolic times in which we live and to be willing to boldly proclaim the Gospel by our lives. If you want to watch (or rewatch) the second night of the mission, Kevin Sullivan can share with you the content. If this challenge excites you or you want help growing in this, please be in touch to begin a conversation around this topic!
