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 October 2020 topics and descriptions, please see the images below.
