The Churchs catechetical mission aims the faithful of all ages to grow in both human and Christian maturity, enriching the whole of life with the leaven of the Gospel (Pastoral Plan for Adult Faith Formation) In Adult Faith Formation we want to encourage a living, explicit and fruitful profession of faith (General Directory for Catechesis, 66). Explicit faith is being in: a) a personal relationship with Jesus, b) a growing in love with Jesus. Fruitful profession of faith results in experiencing the love of Jesus in a personal relationship and as a result of it, all our actions become fruitful whether it is in a kitchen or bedroom or office or volunteering in any parish/social activity that benefits the whole parish/community Living faith involves fully participating in: a) Sunday Mass, b) Reading of Scriptures, c) Being involved in the parish community, prayer, works of service d) Responsible, ethical in job/business/office and e) Loving our neighbors.

Marriage establishes a holy covenant among three: one man, one woman, and God Himself who creates, saves, and blesses us in love. Through God the Father, marriage irrevocably joins the man and woman as one flesh, thereby making them stewards of God's unitive and creative power. Through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, marriage receives the dignity of a sacrament, becoming a reflection of the ever-faithful bridegroom, who loves, forgives, and lays down his life for his bride, the Church. Through the Holy Spirit, marriage unites man and woman in an indissoluble communion of life and love. Marriage is thus more than a legal contract between two parties; it is an icon of our Triune God, in whose image man and woman have been created from the beginning.
