 Lifelong Faith Formation Commission
Formation occurs through the maturation processes of life - in community experiences of our parish, through workplace interactions, in our leisure time activity and in the domestic churches of our homes. As we deepen our participation in an active faith life our understanding of our personal call to discipleship grows. We are called to community and mission.

This commission promotes faith growth through all stages of life and particularly stresses the importance of continued faith growth and leadership of adults. This deepening springs from our celebration of liturgy and is further informed by the U.S. Catholic Bishops pastoral plan “Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us”. We value and support the spiritual growth and leadership of our parishioners through faith resource materials for individual, family and small faith community use as well as through parish community opportunities that build relationships and deepen faith.

The work of this commission is carried out through the work of our parish network including the Adult Faith Committee, the Office of Catechesis, St. Pius X School and Youth Ministry.
