Journey of Faith

What is the Journey of Faith?
​
The Journey of Faith is an Adult Faith Formation program that is offered at St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception on Wednesday nights. This unique opportunity allows for interested adults to learn more about their faith from a variety of presenters. Topics vary based on the month and on the specialty of the speakers.

The Journey of Faith program is also a component of our RCIA process. Adults who are interested in joining the Catholic faith attend sessions to grow in their knowledge of the Catholic faith before becoming fulling initiated members of the church. 

For the February 2021 topics and descriptions, please see the images below.

Consecrated Life: Nuns, Sisters, Firars & more!

February 3, 2021 - St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception - 6PM
Presented by Sister Anita Henning, CSA

World Day for Consecrated Life is February 2. It will be celebrated in parishes February 6-7. Do you know what consecrated life is? Is there a difference between a nun and a sister? Are friars and monks the same? What’s a motherhouse and what is a monastery? How does someone know if God is calling him/her to consecrated life?

Join Sister Anita on February 3, to explore these questions and more.
