ADULT FAITH FORMATION OPPORTUNITIES


"... to teach as Jesus did means 
calling and equipping all Christians
of every age and stage of life
to fulfill their baptismal call to holiness 
in family, Church and society - 
their mission to evangelize and transform the world
into a more caring and just society..."  

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops,
Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us: A Pastoral Plan for Adult Faith Formation in the United States, 1999

 

At St. Bernard's, we seek to form and nurture the faith of all of our parishioners " from womb to tomb." The Catholic Church wisely observes that since adults are the ones who have the greatest ability to understand and respond to the call of Jesus to "follow me" and to transform society, providing opportunity for adults to grow in faith and put into action should be the top priority in parish faith formation. In keeping with this mandate, St. Bernard's parish offers ongoing opportunities for adults of all ages and interests to deepen their spiritual lives and their understanding of the Catholic faith, and to explore ways to bring the presence of Christ to their homes, communities and workplaces.

We believe we CAN change the world - one committed Catholic Christian adult at a time !
