Adult Faith Formation Talks - Growing In Faith Together
You might think that you already attended faith formation as a child, but in the same way that the clothes you wore for your First Communion do not fit you anymore, the understanding of faith you gained when you were a child no longer fits the complex realities and demands of your adult life. To help with this, throughout the year we will offer the opportunity to attend seven gatherings that will be focused on the same theme that the children of the parish will be learning about. For example, in November when our children are learning about various Creedal Concepts, the adult talk that month will be about Creedal Concepts as well, but at an adult level. The talks, offered in conjunction with St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Parish, are intended for all adults, not just those with children in formation. Presentations for adults will be offered in-person once a month on Wednesday evenings, beginning at 6:30pm (a live-stream link will also be available if you are unable to attend in person). Contact Dawn in the parish office with any questions: 585-442-7517 or email dawn.burdick@dor.org. Sign up using the form below to let us know you're interested and to receive the live-stream link.
Schedule:- October 13 at Corpus Christi (864 Main St)
- November 10 at Blessed Sacrament (534 Oxford St)
- December 1 at Annunciation (1760 Norton St)
- January 12 at St. Mary’s (15 St. Mary’s Place)
- February 9 at Corpus Christi (864 Main St)
- March 9 at St. Boniface (330 Gregory St)
- May 11 at St. Michael’s (859 N Clinton Ave)
