"Were not our hearts burning [within us] while he spoke to us on the way
and opened the scriptures to us?"
(Lk 24:32)Before us, in the wonder of God's gracious plan, stretch new opportunities to proclaim the Good News of Jesus to all the world. We are eager to witness and share the word of life about the reign of God faithfully, so that each new generation can hear this word in its own accents and discover Christ as its Savior.
Every disciple of the Lord Jesus shares in this mission. To do their part, adult Catholics must be mature in faith and well equipped to share the Gospel, promoting it in every family circle, in every church gathering, in every place of work, and in every public forum. They must be women and men of prayer whose faith is alive and vital, grounded in a deep commitment to the person and message of Jesus.
(Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, A Pastoral Plan for Adult Faith Formation in the United States)
Adult Faith Formation is the process through which people consciously grow in the life of Christ through experience, reflection, prayer, and study. St. Peter Catholic Church invites everyone to participate in this process through the "Growth in Faith" presentations, Parish Missions, Liturgical and sacramental celebrations, Bible and book studies and more.
