“Adult Catholics must be mature in faith and well equipped to share the Gospel, promoting it in every family circle, in every church gathering, in every place of work, and in every public forum. They must be women and men of prayer whose faith is alive and vital, grounded in a deep commitment to the person and message of Jesus.” Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us (USCCB 1999).

The Office of Adult Faith Formation of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church joins the United States Bishops in the continued response to the call of Vatican II to make the Church’s mission our own. We do so by offering a variety of programs to enrich adult Catholics in their faith formation and to prepare adult Catholics for lay ministry in the Church.

Centering Prayer

It is a form of prayer that is both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. Come join us every Tuesday, from 6:30 p.m.- 7:30 p.m. in the upper room of the Adult Education building. Click HERE for more information.
