On many Monday nights at Saint Susanna Parish, it is not unusual for there
to be an engaging discussion centering on a topic relevant to what it means
to be an informed Catholic. The topics range from Angels to
Zoroastrianism and the speakers range from noted authors and academics to
well-seasoned parishioners.
We are fortunate that our Adult Faith Formation program has been active since
2004 and has produced over 400 presentations.
Topics are selected by our own audiences and address lively topical issues.
The accommodations are ample, with state-of-the-art technology,
including sharing via the Zoom platform.
Each year the Commission continues to engage and expand our audience.
The Adult Faith Formation program is more than just a lecture/event series.
It is the fulfillment of a mission we take very seriously at Saint Susanna:
to strive to be a center for lifelong learning for our parishioners and the
community at large.
Come And See!
