Where are you on the journey of faith?
Whether you have been a faithful Catholic or have recently returned to your faith, whether you went to Catholic school or went to “CCD” classes as a child, there is still so much to learn about Catholicism! The spiritual journey is an on-going and life-long chance to grow in the knowledge and love of God. Essentially, all of us need an adult perspective on God and the Church in order to sustain our faith for a lifetime.

Good news!
We now have special pages just for adults who are seeking, asking questions, want to know more about RCIA, or simply want more resources to continue the learning process. We invite you to click on this link and enter into an opportunity for growth: http://seekingfaith.stedward.com/.  

And don't forget...We also have adult Bible Study, A women's group, and quarterly half day retreats:

Servants of the Word Bible Study meets on Tuesday Morning Bible Study at 9:15am - 11:15am in Knight Hall and begins again on September 13, 2011.

Serenity Day is a half-day quiet retreat designed to deepen our relationship with God through directed conferences, reflection time, and prayer. Dates and times are published in the parish calendar.

Women of Wisdom is a group committed to helping women of all ages and backgrounds grow spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. Books that focus on issues that encourage, renew, strengthen, and unify women in their commitment to God, family, church and community are shared. The group meets weekly on Wednesday mornings in Knight Hall is facilitated by Shirley Filadelfia. Please check the Parish Calendar for dates and times.
