Adult Formation
Adult Formation Ministry facilitates opportunities for spiritual growth and faith formation for adults, in an environment that encourages a deeper relationship with God in Jesus Christ. Adult Formation exists to inspire, invite and challenge adults to grow in their faith in a welcoming community in order to enable the individual to live out Gospel values and bring the
presence and love of Christ to others. Minister: Maria Teodoro Chadburn, M.A. adultform@presentationchurch.net |
Landings (Returning Catholics)
Returning Catholics are welcomed back to the parish family through the Landings Program. This nine-week process provides an opportunity for the inactive Catholic to experience a faith-sharing experience led by the Landings Team. This is followed by a retreat that includes in-depth catechesis on the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the opportunity to celebrate this sacrament (Confession). The retreat closes with a Mass. Many adults who have experienced this program are now enjoying an active participation in their Catholic Faith and are sharing that faith in a ministry of their choice.

Married couples seeking to enrich their marriage are invited
to participate in the “Marriage Course.” This seven-week program is presented annually. The evening begins with dinner served at tables for two, to provide a “Date Night” experience. After input from Marriage Specialists, each couple spends time discussing a theme related to the presentation. A workbook guides the couples through their personal sharing. The couples who have experienced this course have given rave reviews for the presentation, personal sharing time and delicious meals. Volunteers are needed in this ministry to coordinate the program, including coordinating the dinners.
