Family Life Ministries
The Office of Faith Formation and Parish Life is happy to support Adults and Families in their faith. We offer many resources for adults, in continuing education with the New England Catholic Biblical School, sacramental preparation (both OCIA and Adult Confirmation) and marriage resources for those looking to get married in the Catholic Church, for ways to strengthen those marriages that have been together for many years. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
