Adult Faith Formation must engage the particular needs and interests of the adults in each local community. To be faithful and effective it will offer, over time, a comprehensive and systematic presentation and exploration of the core elements of Catholic faith and practice—a complete initiation into a Catholic way of life. It will do so in a way that is accessible to adults and relates to their life experiences, helping them to form a Christian conscience and to live their lives in the world as faithful disciples of Jesus.

Classes are held throughout the year at St. Jude and Our Lady of Lourdes. Please watch the bulletin and The Nook at both parishes for upcoming classes.       

Have you ever wondered if you are doing this whole "womanhood thing" right?

Lisa Cotter sure did. Coming of age in a world that told her women should be like men, she often found herself confused and frustrated with the concept of femininity. That was until she encountered St. John Paul II's writings on the "feminine genius".  Lisa uncovers a transformational vision of a woman's purpose, meaning, and gifts, which might not be exactly what you expect. Learn from saints and other heroic women how to:

• Live authentic Catholic womanhood
• Embrace life from your unique gifts
• Practically impact your family, church, and world through your "feminine genius"
