INTRODUCTION
Our mission in Christian Formation aims to help the faithful of all ages to grow in both human and Christian maturity by enriching their whole life with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We seek to embrace all the faith dimensions of adult life—for example, understanding and communicating faith, skills needed for personal growth, the experience of family life, relationships, public service, and concern for the common good.
St. Luke's hopes to engage the particular needs and interests of adults in our community by offering a comprehensive and systematic presentation and exploration of the core elements of Christian Catholic faith and practice.
This integration of actual life experience, diverse adult learning needs, the study of Scripture, and the teaching of the Church's tradition help us to create a vibrant learning environment.
