Adult Faith Formation is a response to God’s call to holiness. Our faith and life as adult disciples are grounded in developing a personal relationship with Jesus, “the Holy One of God”. Faith Formation helps adults “to acquire an attitude of conversion to the Lord." It leads them to recognize and repent of sin in their hearts and lives, to see reconciliation through the sacraments, and to embrace the invitation and challenge of an ever deepening faith in Jesus. Adult Faith Formation also promotes and supports active membership in the life of St. Patrick Parish. Additionally it calls and prepares us to act as disciples in mission to the world.
When God called Israel out of slavery in Egypt to a life of freedom as his people, it was the defining moment in Israel’s history. Exodus: Called to Freedom looks through the lens of Christ and the Church to show that, more than just seeking to free his people from the domination of Pharaoh, God desired to free his people from the far more dangerous grip of sin. Presenter Tim Gray explains how the Exodus story is not just Israel’s story but our story as well, because it reveals who God is and what he calls us to be. Discover the divine purpose behind the plagues on Egypt and how God’s law reflects his love and concern. Learn the keys to authentic freedom and how a proper understanding of the Exodus can illuminate one’s understanding of the Christian Faith.
