Adult Enrichment

This ongoing program is designed especially to help adult parishioners learn more about their Catholic faith. Topics include areas of Catholicism, the Eucharist, and the Blessed Virgin Mary. One of the main goals is to equip Catholics to grow in the knowledge of their faith and to share it more accurately with others. Classes are held Sundays from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the Father Langan Social Hall, and the schedule follows the CCD calendar.

Faith Sharing Group

This group meets weekly to pray and to study various aspects of the Catholic faith using videos, books, and other materials that help to improve our spiritual life. Personal experiences related to the materials may be shared. This group meets Thursdays after the 9:00 a.m. Mass in the social hall.

OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults)

Stretching back to ancient times, the Church has always accompanied men and women who would like to become members of the Body of Christ. OCIA is the modern-day process in which people learn about the Catholic Church, with the possibility of receiving the Sacraments of Initiation. All inquiries are welcome. Participating in OCIA does not necessarily imply that reception into the Catholic Church is expected or mandatory.
