Adult Faith Formation

AFF symbol “... 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, #2

  

Establishing Adult Faith Formation in every parish is the daring dream and holy enterprise every parish seeks. Responding to the request of pastors and parishes, a combined team developed a process for establishing AFF that really works!
