Who We Are
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 companion page to find individuals and groups that can help you grow in your spiritual life.
Get Involved
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 in our diocese. These are recommendations others have found enjoyable in their parish. We also have a Quarterly Diocesan Book Study. You can also start by choosing a book of the bible (it's quite easy to begin with one of the Gospels), and reading chapters through the style of Lectio Devina.
We are here to help you start small group studies at your parish! You'll find more information is below:
Host a Small Group at Your Parish
Under 'Quarterly Group Studies' you will find our quarterly featured book. These are great books to read through with a group and discuss together. If you are willing to lead a small group study at your parish, let us know! We will get you information on ordering the books and help promote your date, time and location. We hope to promote studies going on throughout our diocese!
If your small group is doing, or would like to do the 33 Days to Morning Glory Marian Consecration, we'd also love to know!
