Adult Faith Formation: Nurturing Life-long Learning
Our mission is to implement the vision presented in the United States Bishops' pastoral plan Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us and in our own diocesan Action Plan. As the Bishops' pastoral plan indicates:
We seek to form parishes that are vitally alive in the faith. These communities will provide a parish climate and an array of activities and resources designed to help adults more fully understand and live their faith.

We seek to form adults who actively cultivate a lively baptismal and Eucharistic spirituality with a powerful sense of mission and apostolate. Nourished by word, sacrament, and communal life, they will witness and share the Gospel in their homes, neighborhoods, places of work, and centers of culture. (OHWB, #17).

Join the St. Paul Adult Faith Formation team on the first Tuesday of each month. Contact Lisa Nueslein at 301-253-2027, lnueslein@stpauldamascus.org. May God Bless You on your spiritual journey.

Programs Offered

Why Catholic?
RENEW International Why Catholic? is a unique adult faith formation process solidly based on Sacred Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The benefits of Why Catholic? are many. It offers a concrete approach to help adults deepen their Catholic faith and connect its teachings to their everyday lives, in a prayerful, small community group setting. In 2008, we'll be reflecting on Book 2, "The Celebration of the Christian Mystery: The Sacraments." Want more information? Read Frequently Asked Questions.

Great Adventure Bible Study
The Great Adventure is a Catholic Bible learning system that makes the complex simple by teaching the story (the narrative) of the Bible. Every day, more and more people are encountering God's Word through the methods taught in The Great Adventure. Anyone can participate in The Great Adventure Bible study.  It's basic enough to suit those who haven't studied the Bible before while at the same time offering ways to go deeper that will challenge the Bible study veteran.
