What Is Adult Faith Formation
Catholic adult faith formation is a lifelong process for baptized Christians to deepen their relationship with God, integrating faith with life through study, prayer, community, and service, guided by the USCCB and local parish programs, covering Scripture, tradition, sacraments, moral life, and missionary spirit, with specific paths like OCIA for newcomers and ongoing enrichment for all.
Core Purpose
- Lifelong Growth: To support adults in consciously growing in Christ throughout their lives, not just as children.
- Integration: Merging life experiences with knowledge of the faith, love of God, and love of neighbor.
- Discipleship: Preparing adults to live and act as Christ's disciples in the world.
