Faith Formation are our programs for the on-going spiritual and faith development of our parishioners, including Catholic Doctrine, sacrament preparation and Bible Study.

“Adult faith formation, by which people consciously grow in the life of Christ through experience, reflection, prayer, and study, must be “the central task in the catechetical enterprise,” becoming “the axis around which revolves the catechesis of childhood and adolescence as well as that of old age.”

Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, #5

Recognizing that Adult Faith Formation is an indispensable part of evangelization, Immaculate Conception Catholic community began a reinvigoration of Adult Faith Formation over the past year. Our goal is to nurture a culture of mature adult discipleship that is a living, fruitful and explicit profession of faith. Those who wish to evangelize must first commit themselves to growth and maturity in their own life of faith so that the truth they communicate remains authentic and convincing, rooted and grounded in Christ (Eph 3:17). Our integrated Adult Faith Formation program proceeds on two major levels: spiritual development and intellectual/personal development.

Our ministries and organizations periodically sponsor other speakers and programs, so keep an eye on this area for specific offerings.
