"Adult faith formation must be situated not at the periphery of the
Church's educational mission, but at its center." OHWB#42- Vision Statement -
We are a ministry that seeks to challenge, prepare and
motivate adults of faith, to give expression to the relationship
to Jesus Christ in action for the mission of evangelization. Jane E Regan
Pope John Paul II said… Adults are called to a full and personal living out of the liturgy in the secular world. We cannot give to the world what we do not have in our hearts; we cannot bear witness to what we do not understand, or even know. We cannot raise our children in a faith we do not understand and love. We need to know the faith, growing in that wisdom for the rest of our lives.From the GDC (General Directory of Catechesis)... continuing formation in faith is directed not only to the individual Christian... but also to the Christian community as such so that it may mature also in its interior life of love of God and of the brethren as well as in its openness to the world as a missionary community. (#70).
At St. Joseph Church, our Adult Faith Formation Ministry is concerned with the ongoing learning of our adult faith community. We offer friendly and enlightening programs to those who seek to deepen their knowledge of the Catholic faith.We currently offer the following ways in which to learn about our faith.

Here’s what parishioners are saying about our Adult Faith Formation (AFF) Ministry.
“...we are very fortunate to be offered so many opportunities to learn about our Christian faith…”
“…this is really one of our church’s great ministries…”
AFF “...has taught me new meaning to scripture passages I had heard since I was a child and yet, never really understood.”
AFF “…it fills me up and educates me in ways I can’t describe. I recommend AFF to anyone & everyone.”
“…I still have questions about our faith. Here at St. Joe’s we are privileged to have a place to find the answers”
“Adult Faith Formation is a spiritual exercise. -
