Adult Faith Formation (AFF) is a new ministry at Annunciation created to reflect the goals outlined in our parish vision plan. “create adult faith formation opportunities that are welcoming, engaging, educational and spiritually enriching.” (Parish Vision Plan, Goal #2)
Adult faith formation seeks to teach, inspire and train parishioners to become missionary disciples by offering resources, community and learning opportunities that will help them encounter Jesus, grow in holiness and be prepared for mission.
This fall there are a variety of group studies offered. We invite everyone to take a few moments to consider your own personal formation, see which study or event works best for you, and then register.
