ADULT FAITH FORMATION - ABOUT OUR MINISTRY

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)

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 compassionatedisciples 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!
