Faith Formation

The Sacred Heart Faith Formation Committee seeks to help bring people into "communion and intimacy" with Jesus Christ and develop a "living, explicit and fruitful" faith. We will do this by collaborating with other committees at Sacred Heart to provide opportunities for parishioners of ages that will:
    - increase their knowledge of the faith
    - deepen their knowledge of and participation in the liturgical life
    - help them learn about and grow in their moral development
    - learn about prayer and deepen their prayer life
    - promote and support active membership in the Christian community
    - call and prepare them to "act as disciples in mission to the world"
