The Engaged Parish
Sept 17 - Oct 21, 2025 | $60
Working for a more vibrant faith community? Adult faith formation plays a vital role in animating the local church. Yet, it often suffers relative neglect. This course is for anyone on a parish council or other ministry with adults. Explore the ways in which faith formation can happen anywhere members work together in the life of the church through evangelization, catechesis, and conversation about things that really matter. This course considers the cultural issues of diversity in the parish and post-modernity in the greater society as the context for deepening adults' engagement in the faith community. It also reflects on the communities of practice that make up the parish, and how to leverage them in helping individuals grow in their faith.

Spirituality Matters
Sept 17 - Oct 21, 2025 | $60
Spirituality is a common concern, one that has significance throughout the details of a person’s life. But what is spirituality, really? Why is it important? And how does one live a spiritual life? Join us in discussing these important questions, as we seek to understand how it’s less about having spiritual experiences and more about experiencing life as a whole person (intellect, will, and emotion) in a spiritual way. Examine how practices of prayer and community, as well as the experience of suffering, can help to liberate our imaginations, and show us reality in a new way.
