Lord make me an instrument of peace..   Where there is hatred, let me sow love   Where there is injury, pardon   Where there is discord, unity   Where there is doubt, faith   Where there is dispair, hope

2020 Pledge Card

 

“The Church’s catechetical mission aims the faithful of all ages to grow in both human and Christian maturity,enriching the whole of life with the leaven of the Gospel” (Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us A Pastoral Plan for Adult Faith Formation in the United States, Statement of the U.S. Catholic Bishops 64).

 In Adult Faith Formation we want “to encourage a living, explicit and fruitful profession of faith” (General Directory for Catechesis, 66).  As stated in Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, living faith involves fully participating in Sunday Mass, reading of Scripture, being involved in the parish community, prayer, works of service and loving our neighbors. Explicit faith is being in a personal relationship with Jesus, a growing in love with Jesus.  Fruitful profession of faith results in experiencing the love of Jesus in a personal relationship and as a result of it, all our actions become fruitful whether it is in a soup kitchen or volunteering in any parish activity that benefits the whole parish community (50-63).

 In the Pastoral Plan, the Bishops identify six dimensions that require growth in “ongoing development of a living, explicit, and fruitful Christian faith:”

  • Knowledge of the FaithCatecheticalLogo.jpgCatecheticalLogo.jpg
  • Liturgical Life
  • Moral Formation
  • Prayer
  • Communal Life
  • Missionary Spirit
