Adult Faith Formation at St. John the Evangelist
Our Adult Faith Formation at St. John is an active ministry! We host programs throughout the year and also participate in Adult Faith Formation programs at some of our surrounding parishes as well.
Our ministry covers RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (and children), Bible Study, Generations of Faith, Small Faith Groups, parish missions and retreats, and numerous speakers and workshops offered throughout the year. For more information on any of these ministries, read the information below, or call the Parish Office.
RCIA
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a formation process that gives participants the opportunity to grow in their relationship with God. It is designed to help non-Catholic adults discern whether or not the Lord is calling them to become fully initiated members of the Catholic Church. RCIA typically meets weekly typically beginning in September of each year. If you wish to register for the RCIA or have any questions about the RCIA, please call Scott at 513-777-6433 or e-mail at ssteinke@stjohnwc.org. If you are interested in information about the Rite of Christian Initation for children, please contact Mary Montour at mmontour@stjohnwc.org or Annie Mesewicz at amesewicz@stjohnwc.org.
Small Church Communities
Small Church Communities meet periodically in the intimate setting of a parishioner's home. The frequency of meetings is determined by each group. Various resources are used to enable the participants to share their faith journeys with each other. If interested or for further information, please call Scott at 513-777-6433 or e-mail at ssteinke@stjohnwc.org.
Generations of Faith
• An innovative approach to faith formation for all members of a community
• A time for people of all ages to share faith and values, and to pass them on to the next generation
• A way to build up and nurture your faith and the faith of your family
• A opportunity for household members to learn together
• A chance to take the learning home with you (Take-Home Kits)
• An occasion for people to spend time together!
Check back soon for upcoming dates for this liturgical year. For more information please contact Joan Seibenick at jseibenick@stjohnwc.org.
