Adult Formation

If you are an adult who is already Catholic and interested in learning more about your faith, you've come to the right place! We offer classes taught by Sister Magnificat and Sister Veronica of the Handmaids of the Heart of Jesus in the Cathedral social hall on Wednesday nights. There are two class sessions which coincide with the Elementary and Middle/High School programs. We also offer special events to help you connect with other adults looking to grow in their faith. Please join us to deepen your understanding of the faith alongside other adults!

God bless,
