Spiritual Formation Commission

Ministry Chair: Rosalie Lewis

Email: raflewis48@gmail.com

Purpose: In collaboration with our cluster parish, Saint Clare, we work together to provide adult faith formation opportunities. In the fall, we have either a guest speaker or a class that deepens our knowledge and love of God. During the fall session, we focus on Church Documents or Scripture Study. In the fall and during Lent, we publicize and encourage participation in our Small Faith Sharing Groups. The Small Group Program started in the fall 2015. At the present time, we have six groups. They meet during the morning, afternoon, and evening. During the fall session, we focus on Church documents or Scripture study. During the six weeks of Lent, the focus is on studying and putting into practice the Mass Readings to prepare ourselves for the celebration of the Resurrection. We plan, organize and sponsor the yearly parish mission, which is held during Lent. We also prepare the Epiphany Packets, which contain a prayer, chalk, and Holy Water to bless our homes for the New Year. We usually make 1500 packets. The Spiritual Formation Commission generally meets four times a year, and meeting dates are posted on both Saint Paschal's and Saint Clare's yearly calendars.
