Fan the Flame: Inspiration through Religious Enrichment (F.I.R.E.)
F.I.R.E. (Fan the Flame – Inspiration through Religious Enrichment) is a systematic adult formation plan of study that has been aligned with the National Certification Standards for Pastoral Ministers which are approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana has developed this plan of study to aid adults and catechists in their formation process. It encompasses Spiritual, Human, Pastoral, Intellectual and Leadership Formation. Classes are not only for catechists who are seeking to fulfill their formation requirements; they are also for anyone who wants to know more about their Catholic faith. Classes are offered throughout the year (including morning/evening, weekday/Saturday, and school year/summer options). Classes are also offered at the BASIC, SPECIALIZED, ADVANCED, and MASTER levels (although they may be taken in any order). No reservations necessary (except for Saturdays and MASTER-level classes).
Contact Chad Grube for more information or to reserve your spot in a class. (cgrube@saintjoan.org and 865-9964)
