Adult Formation and Education

Bible Studies

Adult Bible Study is an opportunity to grow spiritually by studying Scripture in a community setting of sharing and prayer.  Meetings are held Wednesdays from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Rite of Christian Initiation (R.C.I.A.)

R.C.I.A. is a process for adults who are preparing to enter the Catholic Church through an extended period of spiritual formation and instruction in the faith. Sponsors are needed to accompany the catechumens and candidates on their journey of faith. Sponsors must be baptized and practicing Catholics and are offered opportunities for their own spiritual growth. Contact Elaine Beliveau, Director of Christian Initiation.

Scriptural Teaching

Banquet of the Word: The Banquet of the Word is a Bible study guide based on the Sunday lectionary. Written for both individuals and groups, it will stimulate Catholics to take advantage of the lectionary framework as the basis for Bible study. Studying the liturgical Scripture texts is the best preparation for the celebration: it forms a bridge between liturgy and life. Banquet of the Word is an ideal framework for acquiring a good working familiarity with the whole Bible over a three-year period.
