The purpose of the Spiritual Formation ministries is to provide planning, coordination, and oversight of programs and events related to the religious education and faith journey of all parishioners and the outreach to members of the parish and the local community.
Goal: To provide an environment in which the parishioners nurture a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and continually grow in knowledge and understanding of their Catholic Faith and to share the good news of God's love by welcoming each other and our neighbors into deeper fellowship with Christ and the Church.
First Year Objective 1: To create a hospitable environment in which those seeking a relationship with Jesus Christ feel welcome and safe.
First Year Objective 2: To provide opportunities that awaken, develop, and nurture hunger for God in one another and those we touch in our community.
