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 Parish Bulletin for days, times and locations of the various programs/opportunities offered.

Silence in the Spiritual Life
This Mary, Queen of Saints Parish Adult Faith Formation Series talk “Silence in the Spiritual Life” was presented by Christopher Baker, a seminarian of the Diocese of Pittsburgh from New Castle, PA, and currently studying philosophy at St. Vincent Seminary, Latrobe, PA.
Silence is essential to our spiritual life. It is in silence that we most deeply and profoundly encounter God. It was from the context of eternal silence that God lovingly spoke all things into creation. It is in the context of silence that God speaks to us today. This presentation helps to reveal the rich treasures of the Church’s teachings on silence and the spiritual life. This conference was given in Msgr. Farri Hall, as located in St. John the Baptist Pastoral Center, Monaca, PA, on November 12, 2022.

Baptism Preparation Class
We believe that every child is a precious gift of God. It is truly wonderful that you wish to share the Faith with your child, for Jesus 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 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 insight and encouragement regarding what they will promise to do as Christian parents (and godparents). (Please read the Godparent & Sponsor Guidelines before selecting 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. You must register to attend.- Upcoming Class Date & Time: TBA
- Location: TBD
To register for the class and dinner, email sfcabrini@comcast.net or
call the Parish Adminstrative Office at 724.775.6363 ext. 101.Completion of this class is required before baptism can be scheduled.
