Parish Adult Faith Formation
As we move forward with the next stage of the five year pastoral plan, we
are happy to announce that we will be kicking off our new mission together
with a program called Rediscovering Catholicism. Fr. Theo Lange from
Mt. Angel Seminary will be here for two weekends to guide us through this
wonderful book program. Fr. Lange will lead reflection and discussion on
Sunday, September 28th and Sunday, October 5th at 10:30 am –
12:30pm. Following the September 28th presentation we will also gather
for a potluck lunch to celebrate the feast of our patron saint, St. Michael the
Archangel.
Rediscovering Catholicism is a nationally recognized program and is used
in many adult faith formation programs.


Rediscover: is an invitation to find meaning and purpose in life, a sense
of belonging, inner peace and strength, and true freedom through the
depth and beauty of our Catholic faith.
Rediscover: supports outreach to Catholics, provides formation
opportunities to deepen our faith and will become part of who we are as
a local Church through ongoing outreach and formation opportunities.
