Adult Faith Formation at Our Lady of the Assumption Parish is a welcoming space for adults seeking to grow in their relationship with Christ and deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith. The program is lovingly guided by Sister Carolyn, whose dedication to lifelong formation helps parishioners explore Scripture, prayer, and the richness of our Catholic tradition in a supportive community.
In addition to group formation opportunities, the ministry also offers Spiritual Direction. She holds a certificate as a Spiritual Director and has helped individuals in this ministry for more than 25 years.
Spiritual direction is a sacred and reflective practice—an opportunity to appreciate and respond to one’s life journey in the light of God’s presence, love, and guidance. It helps integrate the experiences, challenges, and graces of daily life into a deeper life of faith, allowing individuals to notice how God is moving in their hearts and inviting them forward.
Adults seeking formation, spiritual growth, or one‑on‑one spiritual direction are warmly encouraged to connect with Sister Carolyn at carsev2000@yahoo.com, to learn more about how this ministry can support your journey with Christ.
