Formation in your Catholic faith does not end with the Sacrament of Confirmation or graduation from PSR or graduation from a Catholic high school or college. The Holy Spirit helps us deepen our faith and love for Jesus Christ and the Church through ongoing adult formation. Enriching our understanding of our Catholic faith has many blessings, among them enabling us to better pass along the faith to our children.

Take Time for Discerning God's Will
