Adult Faith Formation

St. Malachy offers a variety of faith formation opportunities for adults of all stages of life:

Regularly Meeting Groups:

• Young at Heart meets on the Second Friday of each month whereby older adults are encouraged to celebrate Mass at 11:00 a.m. and share a pitch-in lunch following Mass.
  
• Mornings for Mom is a group that is open to women of all ages that meets on Wednesdays, when school is in session, from 9:45-11:00 a.m. Whether you have young children, grown children, or no children, studying the readings before the weekend Liturgy can help you to participate more fully when you go to Mass. Members of this group also offer support to one another through prayers and good works.


• Men's Spirituality Group meets the second Saturday of each month from 7:00-8:30 p.m. where men are invited to read, reflect and discuss the readings for the Sunday Liturgy.
  


• Scripture Studies meet throughout the year providing men and women the opportunity to focus on reading and studying the Bible with an emphasis on discussion. Various groups with different meeting dates and times are available; please call the Faith Formation Office at 852-8476.


• Women’s Spirituality Group meets every-other Tuesday from 9:30-11:00 a.m. and provides women an opportunity to read and discuss spiritual books as well as provide a prayer support base to each other.


• Women’s Saturday Spirituality Group meets the first Saturday of each month from 8:00-9:30 p.m. where women are invited to read, reflect and discuss the readings for the Sunday Liturgy.

Retreats:

• Men's Retreat is an annual event where all men in the parish are invited to St. Meinrad. A monk from the monastery leads the retreat and the men from St. Malachy have a chance to reflect on their spiritual journeys while learning from the monastic environment. The retreat usually is schedule for a weekend in February. For more information, please call the Faith Formation Office at 852-8476.


• Women's Retreats vary between one and two a year that range from a morning of reflection at St. Malachy during Advent to a weekend away at St. Meinrad during May or June. These gatherings provide a great opportunity for the women to get away from day-to-day responsibilities; to reflect upon their spiritual journey; and to get to know other women in the parish. For information on this year’s retreat plans, please call the Faith Formation Office at 852-8476.
