Adult Faith Formation

 Deepening Our Relationship With God

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

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.
