“And this is my prayer:
that your love may increase ever more
and more in knowledge and every kind of perception,
to discern what is of value,
so that you may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,
filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through
Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God.” Philippians 1:9-11
Faith Formation Director, Kristen Zacek
As baptized disciples of Jesus Christ, our entire life is an unfolding of the mystery of the Grace of our communion with God. This process does not happen automatically, but as a dialogue of faith between God and ourselves. This process is called Faith Formation. It brings our hearts and our minds into deeper communion with Christ, and it is a life-long endeavor.
Well-formed Catholic adults are the key to well-formed Catholic children, youth, and families. Adult Faith Formation is also of vital importance for our college parishioners. You are learning to examine the world in a deeper, more mature way through your university classes. St. Luke’s seeks to be a resource to you to deepen and mature your relationship with the Lord and your understanding of the Catholic faith. All confirmed adults are called to deepen our love and knowledge of our faith and to be able to share the Good News with confidence.
Throughout the year, St. Luke’s offers opportunities for adults to grow in wisdom, knowledge, and grace through Bible studies, Lectio Divina and other prayer opportunities, small group faith-sharing, and classes. Please see this page and the parish calendar for times, dates, and current offerings.
We’re also pleased to offer another venue for adult Faith Formation in our parish. FORMED is an online service for accessing thousands of Catholic videos, audios and eBooks on demand. As a member, you will have access to entertaining movies, inspiring audio talks, informative bible studies, and much more. We provide this resource free of charge to help our members grow in their faith.
Please email Kristen Zacek or call 616-895-2247 with any questions.
