parish formation
Pathways - Family Faith Formation
Pathways helps families grow closer to Christ—at home and together as a church community. Through simple, meaningful activities, family gatherings, and a focus on the Sacraments, families are encouraged to deepen their faith, strengthen their relationships, and discover God’s presence in everyday life.
Grow together. Pray together. Live your faith together.

Each cycle follows a particular study guide crafted by national Catholic publishers.

COR (Men’s Group)
A Christ-centered Men’s Group. Meeting monthly on the second Tuesday evening, men gather for camaraderie, prayer, and deeper formation in the Christian life. All men in the parish—and their friends—are welcome. The curriculum is generated by the Knights of Columbus, but one need not be a member of the Knights to be involved. As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another (Proverbs 27:17). Contact Steve Ahlquist for more information: sahlquist@verizon.net
