Living As Missionary Disciples
A free online Adult Faith Formation Course
This course walks participants through the fourfold methodology of missionary discipleship and provides six dimensions for pastoral planning based on Evangelii Gaudium- The Joy of the Gospel. This course provides an opportunity to walk through the material with videos discussing each chapter, materials from the Vatican and elsewhere to further unpack, and prayerful reflection to come to a better understanding of missionary discipleship and its importance for parishes to live the Gospel.
Adult faith formation by which people consciously grow in the life of Christ through experience, reflection, prayer, and study, must be the “central task in this catechetical enterprise”, becoming the axis around which revolves the catechesis of childhood and adolescence as well as that of old age. (Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, 1999)
Thus, the Archdiocesan Lifelong Faith Formation Office understands that the catechesis of adults is the ideal standard toward which all catechetical activity is aimed. To support parishes and parishioners with the ministry of adult faith formation, we offer consultation, resources, networking, and ministry training.
