Adult Faith Formation




Adult Faith Formation programs at St. John the Baptist exist to provide meaningful experiences to the Church community in order to help deepen your relationship with Jesus, foster growth in your faith, and strengthen the bonds that unite us as a parish family.

 

It is the mission of St. John the Baptist to energize and engage parishioners to a deeper conversion of faith while being active in the life of the parish so that, being sent at the end of our liturgies, we may:

 

  • Know the value of the Gospel in our lives
  • Live by Gospel values
  • Possess the right tools to become bearers of the Gospel

Order of Christian Initiation (OCIA)

OCIA is an integral part of the mission of the Church and the formation of its members. Those who are looking to join the Catholic Church as new members or complete their sacraments of initiation rightfully undergo a period of formation and preparation. If you are interested in becoming Catholic, please contact the parish office at 812-490-1000. For a more detailed look at the process, click here.



We are excited to offer FORMED to our entire parish for free. With award-winning studies and parish programs, inspiring audio content, movies, e-books, and family-friendly kids’ programming, there is something for everyone on FORMED.
