Adult Formation Programs
 

The main thrust of our parish formation program for adults is through the Small Christian Communities.

Diocesan Foundation Programs:

Foundations for New Wine:
Foundations for New Wine is a nine-month formation program for pastoral ministry (28 weekly sessions from September through May), and a basic adult learning program to develop ministry and leadership, administered by the Center for Pastoral Life and Ministry of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph. Topics covered in this program include Human Development and Communication, Hebrew Scriptures, Christian Scriptures, Church, Sacraments and Worship, and Ministry. This program is prerequisite for the extended lay leadership training program, New Wine, and for the Diaconate Training Program. For more information contact the parish offices at 660-582-3833. The application process usually begins in December or January for the following fall.
