Adult Faith Formation encompasses programs designed for adult learning of all ages, such as workshops and instruction on various topics, evenings or days of reflection, small sharing groups, Scripture study groups and retreat opportunities. Its focus includes family activities such as family meals at the parish, family prayer experiences, pilgrimages and family outings. For those adults who are coming into the faith, the R.C.I.A. (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) program is available. The "Landings" program is offered for those who have been away from the church or the sacraments for any length of time and are considering a return. (See further information on these two programs in this directory.)

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE CATHOLIC?

Session 5: "Let Your Conscience

Be Your Guide"

Thursday, 7 – 9 PM in the Rectory Conference Room.

Our final session carries the same invitation-response dynamic examined throughout all of the previous sessions. We respond to God's gift of grace by living lives marked by love and justice. A tall task indeed given the many choices we are faced with on a daily basis. In fact, throughout our lives, we're faced with making countless decisions. Many of these decisions we make quickly, without really giving them a second through. But some decisions can be much harder to make. Sometimes a decision can leave us feeling confused or unsure of what we should do. Sometimes the decisions we make leave us riddled with guilt. This session will allow participants to reflect on the role of conscience in moral decision-making. We will examine the factors that contribute to the development of a well-formed conscience, as well as resources Catholics can use to help make good moral decisions.
