Divine Mercy offers many opportunities for Adult Faith Formation and education throughout the year.  Watch Parish News and Events on our website, the parish bulletin or subscribe to the parish e-blast to receive the most up to date information regarding upcoming events.

ADULT FAITH FORMATION
Our primary method of Adult Faith Formation at Divine Mercy Parish is Alpha. We encourage all parishioners, visitors, curious neighbors or anyone desiring to know more about the bigger questions in life to attend Alpha. Our Alpha sessions run during the fall and spring. Learn more about Alpha at Divine Mercy here.

Divine Mercy works with the other parishes on the Northshore, including Sts. Faith Hope & Charity, and Sts. Joseph and Francis Xavier, to offer spiritual and educational programming.  This tri-parish grouping offers joint reconciliation services, Lenten Missions, as well as spiritual, social and educational opportunities.

In September of 2021, We gathered to hear to hear Fr. John Kartje discuss "Living with Hope and Joy, Settling for Nothing Less:  A Guide for Making Faith Relevant."
