Faith Formation Programs

The goal of our faith formation programs is to deepen our relationship with Christ and his Church, for Life IS Christ, and "'Christ Lives in Me' is the is the singular confession of the Christian who has been led by God's grace and who trusts, at the deepest level of being, that true life comes only through the redemptive sacrifice of Jesus Christ" (National Directory for Catechesis, p. 183-184).

To achieve this goal St. Richard Church is committed to offering a variety of programs and opportunities designed to help individuals explore their relationship with God and their role in the Church in the context of their Catholic Faith. It is one thing to know your faith. It is something else entirely to understand how our faith enhances and deepens our relationship with the living God. It is only through our being formed and informed in our Faith that we can be transformed by our relationship with God.

The programs listed below are formal and ongoing. As more programs are created they will be added below. Be sure to check under Current News for special faith formation programs such as retreats, workshops, seminars, and reflections that may be offered periodically throughout the year.
