Days of Spiritual Formation
The last two years we have had 255 people attend the Advent and Lent
Bread of Life program for spiritual growth.
At the last SED meeting of priests and SED Pastoral Council it was
decided to continue the faith development program..
The theme for next Advent and Lent Adult Faith Formation Program will
be “Catholic Identity: Valuing Our Tradition.”
This theme responds to the need to help Catholics live their faith in
today’s world.
It was also decided to open the program up to more people. This is a good follow up for those who have
made ACTS or for anyone who wants to grow in their relationship with God.
The evaluations of the people who have attended have been very
positive.
