What do you believe? Now is your chance to explore your faith! St. Maria Goretti Parish is preparing a program based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church for Adults to provide an opportunity for parishioners to learn more about the faith they profess. We will kick off with a presentation on the Creed. But the heart of the program will be small-group discussion sessions built around the easily-accessible Catechism of the Catholic Church for Adults.

The Adult Faith Formation team will help organize the discussion groups, consisting of 8-12 participants. The format will be hour-long sessions, with six to eight sessions starting in early February. Some will take place in homes; some will meet at St. Maria Goretti. Groups can be mixed or can be grouped according to age, gender, singles, or couples. They can meet during days or evenings. Groups will be interactive, with a facilitator whose key responsibility will be to keep things on task.

Because so many of us want to learn more about our faith, and because we want to make this program as convenient as possible, we are requesting that everyone interested in participating fill out the form below. This will enable the Adult Faith Formation team to organize this event for the benefit of all!

Please check ALL the days and times that you would be able to meet with a small group.
