Adult Formation
-
-
Spiritual growth is a lifelong process.
-
-
-
Adult faith formation does not end with the reception of Confirmation. We strive to meet this need for knowledge about the Faith through various methods of adult catechesis encompassing adults of all ages.
Every Catholic should aspire to spiritual growth through learning, prayer and study. Every baptized Catholic is called to share in the mission of the Church. In order to live and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we must be knowledgeable about our Faith.
Check here as well as the MACH1 Bulletin for days, times and locations of the various programs/opportunities offered.

COVID-19 Directives
All visitors to our churches, office and properties must abide by diocesan and CDC directives which includes wearing masks, sanitizing, practicing social distancing, and to avoid congregating. Please use only the portable chairs or specially-marked pews. This is so only the designated areas will have need of (daily) cleaning rather than all seating surfaces.

Baptism Preparation Class
We believe that every child is a precious gift of God. It is truly wonderful that you wish to share your faith with your child, for Jesus Himself said: “Let the children come to me.”
As you begin the task of bringing up your child in the Catholic Church, first-time parents who wish to present their child for Baptism are required to take a one-time Baptism Preparation Class. Godparents are welcome and encouraged to participate in this informal discussion that educates parents about the significance of the Sacrament of Baptism and gives encouragement about what they are promising to do as Christian parents (and godparents).
We are delighted to share with you the rich depth and beauty of what it means to be a Catholic parent. To help you and the presenter focus on the class, it is highly recommended that you find child care if possible. Please register to attend.- Upcoming Class Date & Time: Wednesday, May 25, 2021 at 7:00PM
- Location: St. Frances Cabrini Parish
To register, email sfcabrini@comcast.net or call the parish office at 724.775.6363.Completion of this class is required before baptism can be scheduled.
