Adult Faith Formation Opportunities:  Lifelong Learning courses 

The diocesan office of Faith Formation and Lay Ecclesial Ministry staff are pleased to offer Lifelong Learning sessions that can help all people, regardless of their role in the parish, Catholic school or diocesan office/agency  to experience new understandings of belief and practice. 

While no new courses are beginning in March, numerous parishes hold Lenten series, missions, prayer experiences and other formation opportunities.  There is an in-person series that you can join in progress 

• “He is Risen as He Promised: The Resurrection Narratives” in Massillon

It goes until March 26 on Thursday evenings, 6:30 – 8:00 pm at St. Barbara Church of Divine Mercy Parish in the Parish Life Center, 2813 Lincoln Way NW, Massillon, OH 44647. You can just show up a few minutes early and inquire at the check-in table about being added to the list for Catechetical Hours.

“Whoever is called ‘to teach Christ’ must first seek ‘the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus’…From this loving knowledge of Christ springs the desire to proclaim him, to “evangelize”, and to lead others to the “yes” of faith in Jesus Christ. But at the same time the need to know this faith better makes itself felt.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #428 – 429)
