 The Office of Adult Faith Formation facilitates the spiritual, social, temporal, and theological needs of the adult faith community of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and enhances their individual salvation plan.

RCIA or RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS is designed for adults who consciously and freely seek the living God by entering into the full communion of the Catholic Church. The RCIA sessions begin in August and are completed in May. 

REMEMBERING CHURCH   This eight-week program is for baptized, inactive Catholics who are interested in becoming active.  Current Church practices and beliefs are presented weekly.

WHY CATHOLIC? Journey through the Catechism.  Are you searching for meaning and purpose? Do you have questions about your faith? Would you like to connect more with God? Deepen your Catholic faith and connect it's teachings to everyday life. Experience the best of Faith learning, Faith sharing, Faith living. "An adult community whose faith is well-formed and lively will more effectively pass the faith on to the next generation" Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us.

MEN'S BREAKFAST GROUP  The Men’s Breakfast Group of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Community has developed a following of Christian men that pray together, share the word of God and enjoy fellowship around a continental breakfast every other Saturday morning.  The group meets at 8:00 a.m. in room 7 of the Activity Center next to the church.  Please join the men and experience the camaraderie of Christian fellowship.  Testimonies of men of the parish are being scheduled for future meetings. (There is a group that meets at St. Mark on the alternate Saturdays.)

MINISTRY OF MOTHERS SHARING (M.O.M.S)  This nine-week small group process is for women who want to focus on personal and spiritual growth in order to clarify their values, claim their own giftedness and bring these new strengths to their family relationships and to the Christian community.

OUTSTRETCHED HANDS This SEAS Support Group was formed in part at the direction of the Catholic Bishops who suggest to parents and family members of gay sons and lesbian daughters the following, “…consider joining a parents’ support group…other people have traveled the same road as you but may have journeyed even further.  They can share effective ways of handling delicate family situations such as how to tell family members and friends about your child, how to explain homosexuality to younger children, and how to relate to your son or daughter’s friends in a Christian way.”  For more information please contact Terri and Rich Dalke, 972-881-1070.
