Faith Formation

Overview of the Office of Faith Formation

The Office of Faith Formation seeks to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ in every human situation, attentive to the signs of the times, through the service of pastoral leaders and all Catholics. We build upon the rich Catholic legacy of faith in the cherishing her of religious, cultural, geographic and generational diversity. We collaborate with pastoral leaders and leaders in various ministries to: bring about in all Catholics in the diocese such an enthusiasm for their faith that, in living their faith in Jesus, they freely share it with others; invite all people in the diocese, whatever their economic, social or cultural background, to hear the message of salvation in Jesus Christ so they may come to join us in the fullness of the Catholic faith; foster gospel values by promoting the dignity of the human person, especially persons experiencing poverty and marginalization; celebrate the richness of diversity among God’s people; uphold the common good and the importance of the family, so that our society may continue to be transformed by the saving power of Jesus Christ.
