The goal of adult faith formation is to "form adults who actively cultivate a lively baptismal and Eucharistic spirituality with a powerful sense of mission and apostolate. Nourished by word, sacrament and communal life, they will witness and share the Gospel in their homes, neighborhoods, places of work and centers of culture" (Our Hearts Were Burning #5)

Welcome friends in Christ!

All are called to make a specific and enthusiastic commitment to adult faith formation. While affirming and honoring adult catechesis efforts that have been made in the past the Diocese of Green Bay is energetically committed to making adult faith formation the foundational catechetical mission of the Diocese.

As foundational, it will emphasize that as members of a parish community plan, celebrate, preach, serve, teach, witness, welcome, gather, socialize and pray together they must first keep in mind the formation of the adult members of the parish community.

The adult faith formation pages contain helpful materials, resources and templates to assist you in placing adult faith formation at the center of our parish catechetical mission. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have suggestions or ideas as to how to enhance the content for this area.

Adult faith formation is my passion and I am here to assist you to grow, strengthen and evaluate adult faith formation in your parish. I can help you with strategic planning, understanding the principles of andragogy or presenting to the adults of your parish.

"Because of its importance and because all other forms of catechesis are oriented in some way to it, catechesis of adults must have priority at all levels of the Church" (NCD #188)
