About adult faith formation at St. Mary's - St. Boniface

St. Mary's organized efforts for Adult Faith Formation began with the formation of a team who studied the Bishop's Pastoral Plan for Adult Formation: Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us. To ensure an intentional and organized Adult Faith Formation effort in our parish we try to make it a priority to : Commit to putting God first in our lives Recognize that Adult Faith Formation is a lifelong commitment. Realize that experiences we live everyday are faith forming. Pass on the faith to our children through words and actions. Be reawakened to our faith.

Children's Catechesis

Ms. Clara Veitenheimer, Director of Religious Education Ms. Melissa Graves, Director of Religious Education at Archer City Children's Catechesis is a program designed to nurture each child's relationship to God in Christ Jesus. The lessons are age-appropriate and faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church. They follow the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and Sacraments, Moral Life, and Prayer. The activities are designed to involve the students and their families in catechesis, prayer, and living their faith. Sadlier Benziger RCL has some good resources

Adult faith formation is defined as any means by
which adults consciously grow in the life of Christ
through prayer, study, experience or reflection. In
simpler terms-it is how each of us grows
spiritually. Adult believers who are dedicated to
their faith must commit themselves to a lifelong
journey of understanding their faith, proclaiming
their faith, and living their faith.
