Online Faith Formation Monthly Series

Online Faith Formation is intended to give folks a chance to reflect upon their faith, whether that's alone or as part of a small faith community.

Again, we don't want to dictate your own personal faith development, but rather to offer ideas, suggestions, and resources that would help you in your growth in "wisdom, age, and grace." We come together at church to be a community. That includes sharing our faith with one another and sharing the excitement about an idea or an inspiration. So take the links and resources, find what works for you, what inspires you. Then explore those links and resources to go deeper, to learn more. But more than keeping this treasure to yourself, find ways to share it with one another and let all of us grow in "wisdom, age, and grace." 

The pandemic changed everything. As with our Home Rituals series, we sought a new way to bring church home. But more than ritual, we wanted to bring home instruction, inspiration, reflection, and chance to share ideas with one another. 

After the scandal of Spotlight, Boston College wanted a fresh way to "rebuild my church" (See the story of St. Francis of Assisi). They started a website called Church21. One of the programs they developed is Faith Feeds, which are small gatherings of the faithful over a meal or a potluck to have discussions about faith. While we could not come together in person during the pandemic, we encouraged various groups to come together via Zoom or other avenues. Just a way to keep us in contact with each other.
