Adult Faith Formation is the journey in which we grow in our knowledge of Christ, His Gospel message, and the Church. As followers of our Lord, Jesus Christ, we share in the mission of proclaiming the Good News through our words and actions. To do this, we must possess a mature faith that is capable of proclaiming Gospel values in every part of our daily lives, be it at church, at the workplace or at home. As adult Catholics, we must be men and women of prayer who are grounded in a sound, strong and deep understanding of our faith. Some examples of CAFÉ offerings would be Scripture Study Groups, Catholics Returning Home, various guest speakers through Parish Life Ministries, etc.

From Gethsemane to the Grave:

A Lenten Journey through the Passion Narratives

 

In his book, A Crucified Christ in Holy Week, Fr. Raymond E. Brown asks,

            “With which character in the (Passion) narrative would I identify myself?”

Are we sleeping like the disciples in the garden or awake in our relationship with God? Have we played the role of Peter and denied Him, or Judas and betrayed Him? Like Pilate, do we try to avoid decisions between good and evil? Are we filled with faith at the foot of the Cross like the Roman Centurion?

 

Discover the answers for yourself to these many other questions as we read and discuss the Passion narratives and A Crucified Christ in Holy Week in a three-part Lenten Bible study. Join us for one evening or all three! Please bring a Bible if possible. Fr. Brown’s book will be available for $7 through Angela in the Faith Formation Office. Call or email Angela if you would like to participate in this CAFÉ offering. (agarcia@stmarypinckney.org or 734-878-2217 ext 218)
