Adult Formation

Sunday Morning Adult Faith Formation
Adults of all ages and walks of life are welcome to participate in our faith formation sessions that typically take place between the 9 and 11 am masses on Sundays and before the evening Mass between 5:45-6:45 pm in Hailstones Hall. This year (2018-2019) adults are praying The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius as a retreat in everyday life.  Small groups meet on Sunday mornings (and Sunday evenings and throughout the week) to share their experiences of praying The Exercises, facilitated by a trained “spiritual companion.”

Workshops, Speaker Series and the Annual Winter Retreat
In addition to our on-going Adult Formation on Sundays, the parish frequently sponsors workshops, lectures series and an annual retreat, all of which are geared to help deepen God's life within us. These programs are developed in light of the spiritual needs of our parish community.  Look for information in the bulletin and the front page of the website for topics and dates.   Our annual parish retreat is usually held in late January.

Weekly Reflection on the Gospel
All members of Bellarmine Chapel are encouraged to reflect on the upcoming Sunday Gospel (prior to coming to the Eucharist on Sunday). Prior reading and prayerful reflection greatly enhance one's experience of the Word and of the Eucharist in general. There are many great resources to assist you in this:
