What is
Adult Faith Formation?
Adult Faith Formation is the lifelong process of finding and
falling in love with God in the midst of our human lives.
This journey, the spiritual journey, is the one that matters
most. On this journey we learn how to be faithful and
compassionate disciples of Jesus Christ – through prayer,
sacrament, building community and living our lives in
service of others.
As adults
we are always learning, questioning and growing—and if we’re
not, we have to ask ourselves: are we really maturing? The
ministry of Adult Faith Formation exists at Good Shepherd in
order to provide more opportunities to deepen your spiritual
life and relationship with God, even in the midst of a very
busy schedule. There is something for everyone!

Nothing is more practical than finding
God;
That is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final
way.
What you are in love with, what seizes
your imagination,
will affect everything.
It will decide what will get you out
of bed in the morning,
What you will do with your evenings;
How to spend your weekends,
What you read, what you know, what
breaks your heart,
And what amazes you in joy and
gratitude.
Fall in love, Stay in love,
And it will decide everything.
– Pedro Arrupe, SJ (1907-1991)
