Adult Faith Formation Commission
Adult Faith Formation is concerned with the ongoing faith life of adults. It asks the question: What do adults within the parish community need in order to grow in their faith?
The goals of faith formation are: holiness of life (deepening of relationship with Christ in everyday life), active participation in the Christian community and service of God and neighbor.
In 1999, the U.S. Bishops identified six dimensions of adult faith, each of which they described as "a fundamental aspect of Christian life and a foundational content area for adult faith formation" (Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, 90-96). Those dimensions are:
- knowledge of the faith
- liturgical life
- moral formation
- prayer
- communal life
- outreach/social action.
The Adult Faith Formation Commission is concerned with the ongoing faith life of adults, encouraging deeper formation in one's faith with relevance to these 6 foundational areas. Recent focuses have been on exploring ways to pray and on practical ongoing ways to learn and grow as a disciple of Christ.
The AFF Commission has evening meetings, monthly, September to June. Current members are Carolyn Camerato, Kelly Dunn, Lorraine Fiore, Fr. Paul Kenney, SJ, Kathleen Logan-Prince, Alpheen Menachery, and our pastoral associate, Andrea Jackson. Email Andrea for more information or to join the commission.
