Growth in Faith is an Adult Faith Formation Program for practicing or fallen away Catholics who are looking to return to the practice of their faith or to deepen their relationship with God. Learning about God shouldn't stop after you receive all the Sacraments. It is a life long journey in which your relationship with God grows deeper and sweeter with each passing year.
Growth in Faith Sessions are offered usually on two Tuesdays every month from September to May from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the church hall community room. Contact Laurie DeLuca at deluca1@comcast.net or at (860) 989-8526 for more information.
