Faith Formation

Wednesdays at 6:30 PM

This Faith Formation is based on the book We Believe: Experiencing the Creed through Ancient African Christianity (We Believe Volume I).

Christianity is sometimes viewed as a European religion. The Council of Nicea established the Nicene Creed in 325 CE. This class explores the African influence on the Creed in its 1700th anniversary.

DISCOVER OUR IMPACT

Our patron saint, Bishop Ambrose of Milan, lived in Italy during the 300s C.E. According to tradition, bees landed on his face as a child, leaving honey on his lips. He was a gifted orator, earning him the name “the honeyed tongue preacher.” The bees and the beehive are historic symbols of Saint Ambrose.

We have two worship services each Sunday; 8 and 10:15am. We also have Bible studies on Mondays at 12:15pm and Tuesday mornings at 9:30 as well as a mid-week mass on Wednesdays at 12:15pm.
