Welcome to the Adult Faith Formation
information pages. Our purpose is to encourage active interest
and participation in learning more about the faith, teachings,
practices and beliefs of the Catholic Church.
In most cases, the significant spiritual and faith-related
challenges and questions occur during adulthood, not in
childhood or adolescence. To meet these challenges, Ascension
parish provides opportunities for the ongoing spiritual
development of its adult members (18 years of age and older).
The Church of the Ascension provides many avenues for all
to learn and experience their Faith in a deep and profound
way. An AFF Team of fellow parishioners, led by a staff
person, is responsible for identifying adult faith needs,
planning and implementing "programs" that most
need those needs. A partial list of such programs includes:
Bible Study Groups
Small Faith Sharing Communities
Seminars, Retreats and
Missions
Prayer Groups
Adult Faith Library
Communication about such programs is
provided in the monthly newsletter, The Ascent, in the weekly
bulletin and on the parish web site.
Above all we encourage each other to attend The Liturgy
of the Mass and partake of the Sacraments. Only with a genuine
understanding of our Faith do we hope to bear witness to
Christ in thought, word and deed.
For more information or if you would be interested in serving
in this ministry, contact the Adult Faith Formation office.
