T.R.E. It is our responsibility as Roman Catholics of all ages to understand the tenets of our faith and to experience spiritual formation on a regular basis. Our Total Parish Religious Experience is for everyone, adults and young alike (ages 4+). This experience involves a wide range of activities. First, a monthly session (8 during the year) is held on Sunday afternoons from 1-3:30 p.m. and 4:30-7 p.m. All meet in Church for prayer and orientation on a specific theme, then proceed to age level groupings; adults remain in the church for their own session; then all congregate, once again, in church for closing prayer. Household packets are distributed for additional learning and activities to be done at home. A specific liturgical celebration at a later time brings to fruition the concepts studied and experienced. Those who commit themselves to this process will be nourished in their faith; and most importantly, parents and guardians, as primary educators of their children’s faith, will be equipped to actually teach and share their faith with their children. By sharing our faith story with those around us, we can help one another, (especially our children); feel the constant love and care God has through the richness of our Catholic faith. We all benefit from this program because we all learn, mature, and experience more fully the Lord Jesus Christ and the Church He established for us. To enroll, call the Religious Education Center (542-3824). In addition to TRE, various opportunities for Adult Faith Formation are offered throughout the year. Our yearly Mission (for all parishioners, including youth) takes place sometime during the week before Palm Sunday. In addition, Scripture studies and retreat type experiences are scheduled as needs unfold. |
