Faith Formation

Ongoing Education

It is so important for parents to ensure that their children receive a good education. An education that is academically strong and for us Catholics, one that is faith-based and loyal to the deposit of faith by Jesus Christ. Parents should not forget that the faith is learned primarily at the home by the day to day living out of love and learning and growing in faith. In this, though, it is often forgotten that all adults should continue to learn their faith through study of Church teaching and Sacred Scripture, and the prayerful application of it through meditation and contemplation.

There are more resources available to us these days than ever before. Many websites support this ongoing education by answering submitted questions, providing reading and audio materials, films, televison programmes, podcasts, blogs, radio shows and more. For some of these, click to our links page at the bottom right of this page.

It is imperative that families talk and learn about the faith together and not leave this education to the schools; otherwise we will have many adults walking around with only a very basic knowledge of their faith.

Below, you will find some information on recent programs that the parish is running, our library and cd display, and some links to resources for faith formation. Please avail yourself of these resources and grow more in your faith. We all can do that.

The Chosen

Come join us for a screening of this hit series and discussion!

Beginning February 2nd, St. Dominic Parish will be offering a study centered around the new series hit, The Chosen. The series allows us to see Christ through the eyes of those who knew him. The Chosen takes the stories of the Gospels and at the same time tells us a story that is in between the lines of scripture.

Participants are welcome to join us in the Parish Hall from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm for a screening of an episode, followed by group discussions and activities led by our pastoral minister, Michael Aguiar; materials will be provided. We will be focusing on the first season of the series, spread through eight sessions on the following dates:

February 02, 2023 | February 09 | February 16 | February 23 | March 02 | March 09 | March 23 | March 30

To register, please contact Michael at the parish office or email: [email protected]

Come ready to learn and ask all the questions you always wanted to ask about our Catholic Faith. The next “Evening with His Excellency” is Friday January 13, 2023 at 7:00 pm.

Men’s Scripture Group

Currently, a men’s group meets for about 1.5 hours each week to study the upcoming readings, explore scripture and to come to understand how we might live out our faith.
