Faith Formation

A variety of opportunities for adult education in faith is provided each year. They include:

• Lenten or Advent Discussion Groups. A number of Discussion Groups are arranged in the Parish during Lent for parishioners to come together to discuss and reflect on the coming week’s Scriptures.

• Our Scripture Reflection Group meets each Friday after the 9:30am Mass at Carlingford to focus on the Scriptures for Mass the following weekend.

• Occasional speakers. In addition to these regular programmes, we may have a series of talks by a visiting speaker or a member of staff on a topic of faith formation.

• The Parish Library is a rich resource for reading material for on-going faith education.

On top of the above, each year a programme of events is prepared as part of the on-going adult education focus in the parish. The events are usually announced during Mass and advertised on our website and social media with sign-up sheets at the back of both churches when the time comes. These might include:

• Alpha

• The Wild Goose

• Metanoia

• Unlocking the Mysteries of the Bible

• Ignatian Spiritual Exercises

• and more!

We also have a Mens Group called menALIVE. They meet fortnightly on Thursdays at the OLHC Lower Ground meeting room.
