Adult Faith Formation
Each person is on a journey toward full union with God. As Catholics, we have a long tradition of theology and worship, education and social justice.
Just as one must keep updating and deepening knowledge, skills, and practice in his/her professional life, so too in the faith one professes.
What is the teaching of the Church? How does one effectively, knowledgably and faithfully read and pray with the Sacred Scripture? All of these questions and more can be answered by participating in one or more of the opportunities offered each year at St. Brigid of Kildare Parish. For more information or to register for a class, please email Mary Fran Cassidy or call 614-761-1176. Opportunities include:
