    • The vision of adult formation

      During the Strategic Planning “listening sessions”, Adult Formation arose as a top priority from the lay faithful in the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux. In light of this hunger, the Office of Parish Support has put intentional discernment and planning into a vision for Adult Formation. 

      This vision sees Adult Formation as an intentional, ongoing process that ushers parishioners into a small group culture where they feel a sense of belonging and trust. These small groups, centered around community and prayer, are the venue where adults can share the lived experience of becoming disciples of Christ. 

      This involves an overarching processes rooted in the belief that the Church’s mission of making disciples, received from Christ Himself, is the central reason why the parish exists. 

      Therefore, all other parish ministries and programs are oriented towards “making disciples” as their final goal by aligning with small groups and fostering intentional “handoff”. 

      As Adults participate in the Liturgy, small groups, personal prayer, and other parish ministries such as retreats and service, the movements of Connect, Encounter, Conversion, Growth, and Mission are able to take root in the heart.
