Adult Formation
in the Catholic Parishes
in Waterloo
Our
Mission
The
Catholic parishes in Waterloo are committed to providing
formation, education and spiritual growth opportunities for
adults of all ages.
Our
Vision
We believe that "adult faith formation must be 'the central task
in [our] catechetical enterprise.'"
We are convinced that in order to be effective ministers of
adult faith formation "we must, like Jesus, join people in their
daily concerns and walk side by side with them on the pathway of
life."
We believe that adult faith formation and education
opportunities should:
•
"Invite and enable on-going
conversion to Jesus Christ;
• "Promote and support active
participation in the Christian community; and
•
"Call and prepare adults to act as
disciples in mission to the world."
[U.S.
Bishops' Pastoral Letter on Adult Formation,
Our Hearts Were
Burning Within Us, #5,8,68-74]
Principles of Adult Formation
We value individual life
experience,
respect the diversity of personal convictions,
and welcome the wisdom of every participant.
We encourage conversation and dialogue.
We will never intentionally embarrass or offend participants.
Goals of Adult Formation
We believe that adult faith formation and education should:
• give participants an opportunity to share their personal
experience, questions
and insights.
• help participants appreciate other people's experience and
viewpoints.
• help participants to understand Catholic teaching and
tradition better
• help participants live better lives as Catholic Christians.
