  •      "The whole purpose of doctrine and its teaching must be directed to the love that never ends." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 25)
     

         To know Him is to love Him. That’s it. That is the reason for our Adult Faith Formation ministry.

         To love God with all our heart, with all our mind, and with all our soul is the calling of every human life. To really know that Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life is to know that He is worth every bit of love we can muster. He is worth the entirety of our lives.

         On the other hand, we cannot really love someone we do not know. And we cannot know someone unless we put time and effort into knowing them.  The greater the effort, the more we will know and the more we will experience and offer His love.
         
         We come to know God through Sacred Scripture and Tradition, (@ Thes. 2:13),  through the moral teachings of the Catholic Church, and through the lives of its many saints.  

         We invite you take time and to grow with us in our knowledge and experience of God as the one love from which all love grows!

         Please join us on the journey to becoming disciples of Jesus Christ, committed to authentic Catholic Teaching and Gospel values!

     

    Please check out our Current Events  for weeknight, scheduled series.
