Faith in Action Together
Pillar of Formation
Faith formation is an ongoing process as we are brought deeper into a Catholic way of life. This is a life-long process and one we hope to journey together on. You will find suggestions here for ways in which you can grow independently, or with others, in your understanding and love of God.
We have multiple resources for you to explore. You will find a quarterly group recommendation, information on completing a Marian consecration, lists of recommended books and study resources, and more! These are all great opportunities to gather with other women to explore a topic or study together.
If you are looking for individual guidance, check out our spiritual support page to find individuals and groups that can help you grow in your spiritual life.
Faith Formation Resources
Start a Small Group
One of the best ways to learn about our faith is by gathering together in small groups, and studying Scripture or a book together. Talking about what we read helps us formulate our thoughts and beliefs. Listening to others can bring new insight. Sharing forms connections. Starting a small group does not have to be hard or complicated. We hope this page can help get you going.
Each month under 'Books We Recommend', you will find a book of the month suggestion. The book of the month is a featured suggestion that has been sent in by women of our diocese or chosen by us to help you grow in faith individually or by sharing in a group. We also have listed all past books recommended by topic so there is a large library of recommendations to choose from.
Our Quarterly Diocesan Book Study are books we order in bulk and suggest using for your book study group. They are centered around our theme of the year and are designed to offer a variety of types of study for your group.
Finally we have a page focusing on Marian Consecration which is a lovely study that we recommend all small groups do at some point. Imagine if every woman in our diocese had consecrated themselves to Mary!
Finally there is a link to suggest a book! Do you have a favorite that you think other women would enjoy. Please share it with us here.
Happy Reading!!!
