ADULT FORMATION

CAMINOS DE FE 2017-2018
Northwest Deanery Shool of Ministry

You are invited to participate in a pilgrimage of faith and growth in following Jesus Christ. As a person involved in ministry or interested in being more involved in your parish life, you will join others from parishes in the Northwest Deanery to JOURNEY AS ONE toward our baptismal call to be followers on Christ and ministers of his Church to all God´s people.

The goal of the CAMINOS DE FE program is to help form Catholics who are:

• Well-grounded in the Gospel
• Familiar with contemporary theology in the Catholic Tradition
• Able to enter into mature relationships with God, others and cultures of the world in which we live.
• Able to make what they learn part of their own lives and ministries
• Skilled, both in education and attitude, for effective ministry.

CAMINOS DE FE is designed to provide an opportunity for further development of the spiritual and educational foundations that are essential for a committed life of faith and effective ministry. The courses increase one´s understanding of the Catholic faith; create an expression of a community faith through prayer and learning; and teach skills to be utilized in serving others through a variety of ministries.

The program is open to all adult Catholics who desire to increase their knowledge and practice of the faith and are willing to commit themselves to the goals of the program.

The sessions are held on Saturdays, from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm and meet in various parishes throughout the deanery. The program is largely funded by the parishes of the deanery and subsidized by the Archdiocesan Annual Catholic Appeal. The participation cost per Saturday is $5.
