Adult Faith Formation

Adult Formation Opportunities

Faith formation isn’t just for kids—it is for everyone! We provide dynamic faith experiences for all ages.

At OLPH, we offer opportunities for adults to deepen their personal relationship with Christ, keep up with lifelong spiritual growth, and effectively live out their faith in the modern world. Faith is not static! Ongoing catechesis ensures adults can confidently understand Scripture, navigate daily moral challenges, and pass on their faith to others. Key reasons for ongoing adult faith formation include the following

• Lifelong Discipleship: Learning does not end after receiving the Sacraments of Confirmation. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) views adult formation as the "central task" of the Church's educational mission, designed to foster ongoing conversion and a deeper love for God.
• Navigating Complex Modern Issues: Ongoing study helps adults integrate the Gospel with modern life, allowing them to make ethical decisions and engage with contemporary social justice issues from a Catholic perspective.
• Better Parenting and Mentorship: Adults are the primary catechists for their children and communities. Continuing education equips them to answer questions about the faith and model Christian living for the next generation.
• Understanding Scripture and Tradition: Classes, bible studies, and retreats provide the tools to properly read the Bible, understand the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and appreciate the rich history and liturgy of the Church.
