At St. Paul Parish part of our mission is to form disciples of Christ. Formation requires time and effort similar to a sculptor sculpting his masterpiece.  God desires to make us saints! Masterpieces!  We are never too old to learn more about our awe-inspiring Faith; we are never beyond growth!  While still on earth our formation must continue lest we become comfortable and stagnant in the spiritual life.  

Remember that you can come to all or only the sessions that interest you.  No need to sign up.  It is also a time to meet people and share our faith as we learn more about the beauty of our Church’s Tradition.  

Below are the upcoming Saturday Faith Formation Topics.  Also listed here are summaries for each week.  

April 24 - Spiritual Wimp or Warrior?
Warfare is not merely a reality in the natural world. Due to Satan and the fallen angels, there is spiritual warfare as well. Even though we are not angels, demonic activity effects us. God gives us a role to play to advance His Kingdom. Are we responding to that call? We will examine how to fight this war with the spiritual weapons God gives to us especially in light of the sacrament of Confirmation.

May 8 - How to Participate at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
This month as some of our young people receive their first Holy Communion, it is good for us to reflect on our appreciation of the Eucharist. Actually participating or assisting at Mass is fundamental to our growing in holiness. Just showing up is not enough. How do I prepare? What if I get distracted or feel bored or confused? What should I do after Mass is over? We will examine some best practices that will help whether I attend one form of the Mass or both.

May 22 - Our Spiritual Mother
In this month of May dedicated to our Mother, on this Pentecost Weekend, we will reflect upon Mary as Spouse of the Holy Spirit. In a time when masculinity and femininity are attacked by evil cultural forces, we look to the perfect woman to guide us on how to be the men and women God calls us to be.
