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.
The Gospel of Luke, which we will begin reading in Advent, takes you on a journey that begins with the foretelling of John the Baptist's birth and culminates in Jesus' ascension into Heaven. Along the way, you will witness key moments in salvation history, including the Annunciation, the Nativity, Jesus' baptism, his public ministry, the Last Supper and Jesus' suffering, death and glorious Resurrection. The Gospel's powerful prose and beautiful details will deepen your desire to draw closer to Jesus and be transformed by His Teachings.
The Gospel of Luke continually reveals how Jesus is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. With Luke: The Story of Salvation Fulfilled, you will experience joy as you see how God has been faithful throughout the ages and how God's promise can guide you in your everyday lives.
