Adult Faith Formation

Magdalenes: Women's Ministry

We are made for community – relationship with God and with others. Magdelenes exists to provide space for just that: prayer and friendship. Women of all ages gather for a video, prayer, and discussion about a topic of faith in a small group setting. Join us as we, as St. Mary Magdalene did, hear the Lord call us each by name.

The dates for Fall 2024 are Mondays, September 23, 30, October 14, 28, November 11, and 25.  We will meet from 6 - 7 p.m. in the DAC. Please register so we have seats and snacks prepared and so we can send you all the necessary information.

Fridays for Fathers: Men's Ministry

Forty-five minutes for more Faithful Fathers. Men of the parish are called Into the Breach to be strengthened so as to strengthen others. Meetings are in the Day Activities Center, Friday mornings from 6:15-7:15am. See the parish calendar for exact dates. Coffee and a continental breakfast will be provided. Contact Fr. Gries at frgries@holyfamilynewalbany.org with any questions.

 
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults

RCIA is for anyone who is interested in learning more about becoming a Catholic and for someone who has been baptized Catholic, but never received First Communion and Confirmation. Please contact Fr. Jeremy Gries at (812) 944-8283 ext 1.

The process consists of weekly meetings during which we share the gospel and introduce Catholic teachings. These meetings begin in the fall and culminate at the Easter Vigil when participants receive the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist. The process also includes on-going formation after Easter.

If you have an interest in being involved as a sponsor or catechist, please contact Kristina Seipel at kseipel@holyfamilynewalbany.org or ext. 4.
