Generations of Faith is a program that envisions the entire faith community as a learning community. It is based on the concepts of lifelong, intergeneration, event-centered faith formation. Generations of Faith is a parish faith formation program for everyone in the parish. It gives people of every age an opportunity to learn about their faith and to share insights about their Catholic faith and how they experience the challenges and blessings of daily life.
2022-2023 Prophets - People Called to Speak and Act
The theme for Generations of Faith this year is Prophets - Called to Speak and Act. Prophets of the Bible were courageous people who spoke for God and who led God's people. Prophets of the past and of today are people of faith who listen to God, use the gifts that God has given them to act in faith. The adult sessions will begin with a video presentation ona particular prophet, followed by small group discussion and faith sharing.
As we enter the post pandemic era, we have rearranged our GOF schedule to accommodate people's needs and desires. Hopefully, our new procedure will be beneficial to all. The session will run from 12:30-3:00pm.
12:30-1:45 Groups will meet for their presentations
1:50-3:00 Lunch in the Gym served by our wonderful caterer, Paul Wertz of Platinum Dish. Please note that the meal will be served after the presentations. Participants are asked to indicate when they register whether or not they plan to stay for the meal. For the meal, we ask for a free will donation from the adults and the children eat free. Bring your appetite and socialize with your friends, new and old.
