Adult Formation

Adult Faith Formation, the continuing growth and development of a relationship with God, is as basic and essential to realizing one’s human potential as anything. This formation happens when people practice their faith within the community of believers, live in accord with their religious principles, and allow the insights of faith and life to interact.

St. Margaret of Scotland offers parishioners many ordinary ways to promote faith development: liturgy, preaching, opportunities for prayer, charitable works and mutual support. We also invite members to take part in some special programs to nourish the adult believer.

JustFaith

Our Christian faith extends an invitation to each of us to become agents of God’s compassion and healing in a wounded world. JustFaith programs empower ordinary people and their communities to act on that invitation.

  • JustFaith programs help individuals experience conversion, integrating their personal spirituality with social commitment. Programs provide opportunities for individuals to study and be formed by the justice tradition articulated by the Scriptures, the Church’s historical witness, theological inquiry, and Church social teaching.
  • Participants are empowered to develop a passion and thirst for justice and to express this passion in concrete acts of social ministry in their parish or church and in the community at large.

Through workshops and programs, JustFaith seeks to help participants expand their commitment to social ministry within our faith community at St. Margaret of Scotland.
