Faith Formation

Faith Formation

Growing in Wisdom and Faith

Faith Formation combines intellectual development and spiritual growth. Intellectual development takes place through learning more about scripture and tradition, the history and challenges of the Church through instruction and dialogue. Spiritual growth takes place through spending time in prayer and reflection, both communally and individually. Additionally, we encourage spiritual growth through direct service and outreach.

As a parish, St. Joseph nurtures intellectual curiosity, emotional maturity, and spiritual formation in all its members, while also seeking to foster a respectful dialogue with the culture-at-large and other religious traditions. We seek to understand the teachings of the Church, explore the rich symbols and history of our Faith, foster deeper relationships with God, and support a common vocabulary for talking about our Faith.

Our many ministries of formation are listed on the right and are organized into Baptism - being the prime sacrament of initiation into the community, Children's Faith Formation, Confirmation, our parish Youth Ministry groups, our programs of ongoing formation for adults, and our related works and organizations.
