Adult Faith Formation
About Adult Faith Formation
Welcome to the Office for Adult Faith Formation!
Adult Faith Formation is at the heart of our catechetical vision and practice. It is situated not at the periphery of the Church's educational mission, but at its center. It is the central task and chief form of all catechesis, and the axis around which revolves the catechesis of childhood, adolescence as well as that of old age. It is essential to who we are and what we do as Church.
The Office for Adult Faith Formation cultivates and nurtures a variety of spiritual development attitudes, relationships and opportunities to involve adults in the life of Christ. These aim to bring adults to Christian maturity and collaboration in the mission of the Church to transform the world in communion with the Lord.
Inspired by the Bishops' Pastoral Plan on Adult Faith Formation (Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us), the office provides consultation, training, education, and resources to assist adults and parishes to be effective in lifelong adult ministry. The office serves in the formation of parish catechetical leaders and adults in general, from the young to the not-so-young.
I invite you to grow in friendship with Christ.
