ADULT FAITH FORMATION

 Sacred Heart provides a variety of opportunities for individuals to grow in their faith through college courses and parish sponsored workshops, Book clubs, Small Christian Communities, Retreats, and other events, both online and in person.

Catholic Read: The Parish Book Corner

Each month, Sacred Heart Parish invites you to be a part of our book discussions. You may participate in one of the following ways:

  • Participate on your own, using the posted reflection questions for each section
  • Participate in an online discussion group meeting through ZOOM
  • Gather a group and host the discussion in your home. Gather a small group of friends each week: Read the chapters, reflect on the questions, gather to share your insights and fellowship






BOOK DISCUSSION: FEATURED BOOK FOR JANUARY

One Great Act of Fidelity: Waiting for Christ in the Eucharist

The Eucharist, our major faith anchor. This book is Fr. Rolheiser’s attempt to

WEEK 5 ONE GREAT ACT OF FIDELITY Reflection questions for Chapters 13-14-15


Chapter 13

What are my Expectations about the liturgy?

How do these expectations shape my commitment to liturgy?

How do I incorporate the 1 non-negotiable rule for prayer which is simply, “ Show

up; Show up regularly”?


Chapter 14

How do I understand the practice of keeping vigil?

The Eucharistic Liturgy calls us to keep vigil, waiting for Christ’s return. What does

this mean for me?


Chapter 15

“ What sustains a relationship over the long term is ritual, routine, and regular

rhythm that incarnates commitment.” IF I truly believe this, how will this inform

my commitment to celebrating Mass regularly?


BOOK DISCUSSION: FEATURED BOOK FOR FEBRUARY

Intro to the book:  6 Black Catholics On the Road to Sainthood.

BLACK CATHOLICS ON THE ROAD TO SAINTHOOD BY MICHAEL R. HEINLEIN,ED.

This is the first book length project to include the stories of heroic witness of the first six Black Catholics from the U.S. under formal consideration for canonization.


A must read book for all since the “summer of racial reckoning” in 2020, bringing a renewed urgency to the work yet to be done against racial injustice.

Commissioned by Christ (Mt 28:16-20)

 The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain

to which Jesus had ordered them. When they saw

him, they worshiped, but they doubted. Then Jesus

approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been

given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them

in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching

them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you

always, until the end of the age.”

Bowman: A School of Evangelization and Discipleship by Peter Jesserer

Smith (Pages 99-104


Respond

How can Sister Thea Bowman teach us to be more attentive to the cultures

that form and shape the members of our society?


What are some ways Bowman teaches us to be more joyful in our

proclamation of the Gospel?


How can Bowman’s life instruct us to be “fully functioning” disciples?


Offer the prayer for Bowman’s beatification (Pages 97-98).



Small Christian Communities

  This Lent, our parish community will be invited to pray and share faith together in small Christian Communities, meeting either in person or online. 





Living The Eucharist ( beginning in Lent)

  

Living the Eucharist is a dynamic, parish-based program designed to help revitalize parish life and mission through a more profound experience of Sunday Mass. It helps the entire parish grow in their Catholic faith and live more fully as missionary disciples of Jesus.

Living the Eucharist runs during Lent for three years. Parishioners can take part in adult and teen faith-sharing groups, devotional and catechetical Lenten readings, and a prayer campaign.
