The Mission Statement of the St. Rose of Lima Adult Faith Formation
The SRL Adult Faith Formation Team is dedicated to the great commission of Jesus and to the mission of the parish to form disciples of Christ through opportunities for life-long learning.

We see ongoing formation as a means to support Pope Francis's call for us to be missionary disciples and offer opportunities for parishioners to learn as they grow in their faith.

The AFF identifies, creates and offers a variety of resources and opportunities for parishioners:
lectures and presentations on timely topics, Scripture study, Small Christian Communities and faith reflection groups, retreat days for prayer and reflection, and other and opportunities to strengthen faith.
