2004/2005

We offer a variety of educational and spiritually enriching opportunities for adults through the year. Whether it’s a book or Bible study, seasonal prayer services, or presentation, the goal of the program is to “nourish and empower our members in their calling and identity as people of faith, as contributors to the life and work of the Church and as disciples whose mission is to the world.”

The following is just a sampling of our offerings. There are many other adult faith formation opportunities available during the year here at St. Cecilia, as well as at other local parishes. Please watch the bulletin for information about other upcoming programs.

RCIA SPONSOR—Being a sponsor in the RCIA process provides the opportunity to accompany someone who is preparing to become a Catholic. A sponsor represents the parish community as the person is introduced to the Catholic way of life. Although the RCIA process is first and foremost for the candidates, the experience of being a sponsor can be a very rewarding process and a renewal of faith for all those involved . In the past, many people have discovered this ministry to be a very powerful experience of faith and of the Church community.
