Christian Formation Committee

Jesus said to them,
"Go into all the world and
preach the gospel
to all creation." 
~ Mark 16:15
Role

Christian Formation is a leadership group of parish members, chosen through discernment, who together with the pastor guide the direction of Christian Formation for adults, teens and parish youth.

Christian Formation is a consultative body commissioned to provide counsel.  The focus of Christian Formation is on mission, not management.
