Adult Formation
Catholic lifelong faith formation is a continuous process of learning and growing in the Catholic faith from baptism to death. It involves deepening one's relationship with God, understanding Catholic teachings, and actively participating in the Church community.
At St. Jude the Apostle Parish we invite all adults to participate in the many opportunities for education and spiritual development presented throughout the year.
These events are for all adults in the parish – retired folks, Faith Formation and School parents, and young adults. Questions? Contact Heather Warner at hwarner@stjudetheapostle.net.
