We believe:

- That we encounter God in the experiences and events of everyday life as well as in the Catholic tradition.
- That growth in Christian faith is a gradual and lifelong process.
- Religious Education for children,1st grade through High School.

The Mission of the Office of Adult Formation is to nurture spiritual growth and foster an attitude of ongoing conversion to Jesus within the adult members of St. John – Holy Angels Parish. The Office supports and promotes “formation for transformation” as called for in the U.S. Bishops’ document Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us.
Formation as Catholic Christians is an ongoing, life-long process. To assist in that journey of faith, the Office of Adult Formation provides opportunities and resources for faith enrichment.
