The mission of Adult Formation is to provide ongoing faith formation that enables adults to understand and experience their Church and faith at increasingly deeper levels and to influence a deeper relationship with God.

As a faith community we WELCOME ALL who come to us. Whether you are a member of our faith community, visiting our faith community for the first time, have been away from the Church, or if you are looking for more information about the Catholic Church and faith, we have something for everyone.

Remembering Church ~ Have you been away from the Church for awhile, or are you looking to update your knowledge of the Catholic Church and Catholic teaching? All of us have had questions, struggles and both positive and negative experiences with the Catholic Church. Our Lady of the Pines has an 8 week series of sessions that are designed, not to coerce, or convince anyone to return to participation in the Church, but to help one another take the next step in each person’s spiritual journey. Remembering Church will start sessions sometime in Lent (dates to be determined).

Adult Confirmation ~ Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to be missionary witnesses of Jesus Christ in our families, neighborhoods, society, and the world. Through Confirmation our personal relationship with Christ is strengthened. If you are an adult Catholic (18 yrs. or older) who has never been confirmed, we can help you to prepare to celebrate this very special Spirit-filled Sacrament.

Morning Scripture Study ~ It’s never too late to join us! Our Sunday morning Scripture study takes place every Sunday morning from 9:15-10:15 am in the parish hall downstairs. COME JOIN US ANY TIME!

RCIA ~ The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults The journey of faith traverses a highway of temptation and grace. For Christians and the Un-baptized, it rises through a period called the catechumenate, and delivers it travelers safely home with the sacraments of Initiation.

RCIA is a process for Non-Catholics who are seeking more information about the Catholic Church or who are interested in becoming a Catholic. Through out the process you will be able to ask questions, learn about Church teachings, beliefs, traditions, worship, experience prayer, spiritual growth and personal change. We welcome all who have an interest in the Catholic Faith. There is also an RCIA for children process for children 7 years and older who have never been baptized. Contact Vickie Welsh if you have questions or would like further details.
