Adult Education
Adult Faith Formation is the lifelong process of finding and falling in love with God in the midst of our human lives. It has the purpose of supporting, nourishing, and challenging adults as they explore their faith, experience its power, and grow in relationship with God. At St. Edward the Confessor, we offer a wide variety of studies for adults to accomplish these goals on their journey of faith.

THE SEARCH
Tuesday evenings 7:00 pm
(This will be offered as a parish-wide Lenten program)
What is this journey in between the event we call "birth" and the one we call "death"?
Is the journey taking you somewhere, or are you leading yourself to some king of destination--a destination that could extend beyond your last breath? What do you want from your life during the in between? The questions are there. And the answers are, too.
The Search from FORMED is an innovative video-based journey that tackles the key questions of every human heart. In seven beautifully filmed episodes, Chris Stefanick and experts from the fields of science, medicine, psychology, art, and religion examine our place in the larger story of existence.

In this important series, Fr. Cedric names the problems and offers hope. There is a solution. Through trusting God and cooperating with grace we can find serenity and resurgence on our spiritual, mental and emotional lives.

Now on FORMED
“Catholic Answers is deeply honored to work in the vineyard alongside the Augustine Institute. In our age, there is a bewildering overload of online content. Finding the good, the true, and the beautiful in the midst of it all can well-nigh approach the impossible.
Let me help cut through the noise and the clutter: Actively engage with FORMED.
You will be drawn closer to Jesus Christ, and you will be equipped to help Him draw ever more souls to His Sacred Heart.”

A New Program for Adult Education available online
for the parish of St. Edward.
Many parishioners would love the chance to learn more about the Catholic faith, but their schedules do not allow them to participate in our weekly Adult Education classes. There are others who question the authenticity and intellectual integrity of the programs that are offered on television, because they can never be sure if these represent solid Catholic teaching. In answer to this desire and need for good Catholic programming, we are pleased to present SYMBOLON.
The SYMBOLON program is web based, so there are no DVDs to buy or borrow. The parish pays an annual subscription fee, and the members of St. Edward parish can go to the website, create their own logins, and then have access to the excellent video resources that are available. You get to watch on your schedule and in the comfort of your own home.
I am so pleased that we can offer this service to our parishioners, and I consider it money well invested as it helps our people grow in knowledge of God and the teachings of His Church.To sign up for free and get started click here ......
Please note that your username is the email address that you register with.
