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) 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.

Current/Upcoming Studies

Join us for TNT--Thursday Night Theology!

Saint Paul is the arguably the greatest evangelist in the history of Christianity and the author of more than half of the New Testament. His writings predate most of the Gospels, but they often get overlooked even though they are read every Sunday. This study of the letters of Saint Paul to Christians in Rome and Galatia are believed to be written less than 25 years after the Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus. Topics will include justification, salvation, the relationship of faith and works, the reality of sin, the relationship between the Old and New Covenants, and the fruits of the Holy Spirit. The study will offer something for everyone with a blend of group study, individual study, and prayer.


Sessions will be held from 7:15 pm to 8:15 pm on Thursday evenings from August 6 through September 17 in the Ruth and Naomi Room.


Register here or call the parish office at 812-490-1000 no later than Wednesday, August 5. Books may be ordered online from Liguori Publications at  https://www.liguori.org/letters-to-the-romans-and-galatians.html. If you want the parish to order a book for you, please register no later than Wednesday, July 29.
