The Mission of the St. Margaret Mary Adult Formation Committee is
to encourage life-long faith development through coordinating and
providing religious education and spiritual renewal opportunities
for adults at varying stages of their pilgrim journey.
DESCRIPTION:
Adult faith formation provides a number of processes through which
people may consciously grow in the life of Christ through experience,
reflection, prayer and study. This must be the central task of the
catechetical enterprise “becoming the axis around which revolves
the catechesis of childhood and adolescence as well as that of old
age”. (General Directory for Catechesis, #275)
“Every disciple of the Lord shares in his mission. … To
grow in discipleship throughout life, all believers need and are called
to build vibrant parish and diocesan communities of faith and service.”
(Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, USCC, 1999, pp.1-2) “Pope
John Paul II …envision[s] a laity who are living witnesses to
Christ: well-formed in faith, enthusiastic, capable of leadership
in the Church and in society, filled with compassion, and working
for justice.” (Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, USCC, 1999,
pp.11)
