Adult Faith Formation

Adult Faith Formation exists at St Brendan in order to help fulfill the parish vision to “become who you were created to be.” To help accomplish this our mission statement and our hope is that “St. Brendan Parish is your home to encounter Jesus and grow in virtue.”

The Adult Faith Formation program offers a variety of bible studies, book groups, talks, events, and men’s, women’s and family programming for those seeking, those striving, and those sharing their faith.

These opportunities to grow in knowledge of your Catholic faith are available year round. In addition to growing in knowledge of your Catholic faith, you will see how your community grows as you develop strong friendships, rooted in Christ, with the other participants!

 

God hasn’t stopped speaking. We’ve stopped listening.

We yearn for God’s direction. We want to hear His voice and know His will. Learning to listen to the voice of God will change your life powerfully and wonderfully. Knowing this, our gift to you this Christmas is Matthew Kelly’s new book, Three Ordinary Voices of God. Discover how God speaks to everyone through three ordinary voices: our needs, our talents, and our desires.

Pick up a book for your household then plan to join us as we host our book club for both morning and evening sessions, January 16 and 23, and February 6. Morning sessions are 9-10:30 AM with childcare provided up to age 5. Evening sessions are 7-8:30 PM. Both sessions are in the Davidson Rooms.

Registration opens December 21.

Catholic Way Bible Study: The Gospel of Matthew

Matthew presents Jesus as the Royal “Messiah” – the “Anointed One”. He is the “shoot” of the line of King David long, awaited by the Jews and the fulfillment of the Old Covenant. He shows Jesus as the Man and the King who asks: “Who do you say that I am?” (16:15). Jesus of Nazareth is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. His words and actions show a power and authority greater than any before Him and lay the very foundations of His Church.

Come journey with us as we come to know Jesus in our hearts through the Gospel of Matthew in this 25 week study with video content and discussion.  Sessions are held on Mondays from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM in Wellniz Hall. We began on September 9, but welcome others to join us for our second half, ending on March 31. All materials are provided. Questions? Contact Patsy Bunnell at dpbunnell@yahoo.com.
