Wednesday Adult Formation
Are you longing for a deeper relationship with God and a greater experience of His love? Do you desire healing and renewal in body, mind, and soul? Join us on Wednesdays for Adult Faith Formation as we journey through the Healing the Whole Person series. We meet on Wednesday mornings at Holy Trinity Campus at 10 AM, and we meet at Star of the Sea Campus starting at 6 PM.
Following hospitality, we'll watch a video presentation and continue the conversation in small-group discussions. Whether you're new to adult faith formation or have participated before, all adults are welcome.
Adult Confirmation
Ready to take the next step in your faith? If you are an adult baptized Catholic seeking the Sacrament of Confirmation, we invite you to join Discovering Catholicism. Through prayer, learning, and meaningful conversation, you'll grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ and prepare to receive the special strength of the Holy Spirit in Confirmation.
