Fan the Flame: Inspiration through Religious Enrichment (F.I.R.E.)

F.I.R.E. is an Adult Faith Formation curriculum offering opportunities to further the faith life of our adult community through prayer, discussion, and Scripture study. Classes are offered at throughout the year. The intent of this program is for personal development, improved and advanced understanding of Catholic traditions, and Biblical basis of the Catholic Faith. These courses also fulfill some of the requirements needed to become instructors or leaders for R.C.I.A.
