One Bread, One Body
St. John Paul II, Catechesi Trandendae
At St. Mary, we view formation as an ongoing endeavor for every parishioner from cradle to grave. In order to meet the needs of our diverse parishioners, the Formation Committee serves as a consultative body to the Director of Religious Formation. Made up of catechists from every level (Baptism Prep to Adult), the Committee serves as the eyes and ears of the Director, helping to discern the formation needs of the entire parish. In addition the committee suggests possible programs and speakers that might be of intereste to the parish. And finally, the committee helps to promote and publicize upcomig Religious Education programs and opportinuties.
The committee meets quarterly in advance of Pastoral Council meetings, and two members of the Committee serve as advisors on the Pastoral Council.
