We believe that it is adults who are capable of a full response to God's Word, and it is adults who set the example of gospel values to the young members of the parish. Therefore, to encourage adults to grow in their faith, a variety of educational programs are available.
Thursday morning, September through May, following the 8:00 AM Mass, adults meet to discuss and share their reflections on the upcoming Sunday's readings. This is an excellent way to prepare for Sunday Eucharist.
