If you would like to receive periodic emails about upcoming Adult Faith Formation programs, click here!
Each one of us is called to holiness, to become like Jesus. As Catholics we believe that this journey is life-long and culminates in us one day becoming saints. At St. Michael we offer a wide variety of opportunities for adults to grow in knowledge and love of the Lord and community with fellow believers.

Saints: Get to know a new saint each day through a Saint of the Day email or check the Vatican site. (There are other organizations that will also send you information.) If you want to know more about a particular saint, do an online search, which could start here. Is there a saint with your name? What saints have your birthday as their feast day?
Lectio Divina: This is Latin for “divine reading,” and is one method of prayer and reflection on Scripture that dates back to the early church fathers. It involves four steps: (1) listening to God's word by reading a short passage and listening for a word or phrase that speaks to you; (2) reflecting and pondering the word or phrase - what does it mean or what memories/feelings does it evoke? (3) praying or speaking with God about the word or phrase; (4) resting in God's presence. Learn more here.
Centering Prayer: This is a type of silent prayer and meditation, meant to help us less talking and more listening in prayer. Learn more here.
Mass readings: The readings for the day can be found here, along with short video reflections for each day.
Sunday reflections: Several organizations routinely provide free reflections on the Sunday readings. Along with the videos from St. Michael Masses, you might want to check one of these out: Word on Fire (Bishop Barron) or U.S. Bishops Conference.
Rosary: Find directions here or follow along with an online one.
