Rite of Christian Initiation of AdultsAre you or do you know someone curious about becoming Roman Catholic? Perhaps you are already Catholic but haven’t received the sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Communion and are ready to explore ways of getting ready to receive these sacraments. If you are 18 years old or older and want to find out more about the Roman Catholic Church please contact Dcn. Jeff Arner by calling the parish office. We will do what we can to help you grow in your faith and answer God’s call during these difficult times. Where there is a will, God provides away.
Please join us every Sunday at 9AM in the Guadalupe Room. -

Adult Faith Formation is the lifelong process of finding and falling in love with God in the midst of our human lives. Every one of us, by virtue of our Baptism, is on a life-long journey of faith. Consequently, Adult Faith Formation has as its purpose to support, nourish, and challenge adults as they explore their faith, experience its power, grow in relationship with God. Thus, we strive here at St. Elizabeth Seton, to offer, plan, and implement a wide variety of faith forming programs and opportunities for all adults.

In their document Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, the US Bishops renewed a commitment to fostering faith formation for adults. Since we all are continually being formed in our faith as we walk our journeys of life, a renewed commitment to adult faith formation necessitates a need for quality programming and a variety of opportunities for all adults.
