Adult Faith Formation is a response to God’s call to holiness. Our faith and life as adult disciples are grounded in developing a personal relationship with Jesus, “the Holy One of God”. Faith Formation helps adults “to acquire an attitude of conversion to the Lord." It leads them to recognize and repent of sin in their hearts and lives, to see reconciliation through the sacraments, and to embrace the invitation and challenge of an ever deepening faith in Jesus. Adult Faith Formation also promotes and supports active membership in the life of St. Patrick Parish. Additionally it calls and prepares us to act as disciples in mission to the world.

Presented by the Augustine Institute, Lectio: Eucharist - Discovering the Mass in the Bible with acclaimed author and teacher Dr. Brant Pitre (Author of Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist) digs down to the biblical roots of the Eucharist, through its forshadowing in teh miraculous events of the Old Testament, the Gospels and the Apostolic teaching.

"The Lamb of God", "The Bread of Life", "The Body and the Blood of Christ"...these are phrases we know from the Mass.  But do we understand what they mean in the greater and deeper context of Scripture and Church teaching? We'll discover firsthand how Christ's Body and Blood are an integral and wondrous part of God's plan for our salvation.
