Adult Religious Formation

The purpose of the Adult Religious Formation team is to strive to show leadership in the journey of faith and renewal of all parishioners in accord with Church teachings and diocesan policies. This includes renewal programs for those serving in Church ministries, basic teachings on Church doctrines, the welcoming home Catholic outreach and family nights to involve the entire program.

 SACRED HEART PARISH

 ADULT RELIGIOUS FORMATION COMMISSION

 February 2, 2017

PRESENT: Sister Rebecca Otter, Mary Mitchell, Father Warren Stecklein, David O’Gwin, Cathy Grover, and Regis Lopata

ABSENT: 

The minutes from the meeting of January 5, 2017 were reviewed and approved as written.

The session focused on plans for our upcoming Lenten study program “A Biblical Walk Through the Mass.”  The program will begin on March 5th and will continue for five or six Sundays (the sixth session is optional), and will end before Easter.  We will begin with lunch at 11:45 a.m. and the sessions will then last approximately one and a half hours.  ARF Commission members will provide the first meal, and we will arrange for pot luck meals for the remainder of the sessions.  Announcements about the program will be made at the Masses this coming weekend, with Regis doing so at the Saturday liturgy, and Mary on Sunday.  We will ask for registrations for the program to be completed by February 19th.  It was decided to order three facilitators guides for the program facilitators, but we will not order the texts or participants workbooks due to the cost and the extensive nature of the program.  Each session will begin with a thirty minute video, and then we will break into small groups. 

The next meeting of the Adult Religious Formation Commission will be on February 23, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. at the Parish Education Center.  Final plans will be made for the program at that time.
