ABOUT PARISH LIFE
The bishops of the United States have called parishes to a renewed commitment to Adult Faith Formation. This commitment renews the call to and focuses on the necessity of lifelong growth as disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ. In the bishop’s document, Our Hearts Were Burning within Us: a Pastoral Plan for Adult Faith Formation in the United States, Adult Faith Formation is placed at the center of the mission of the church.
At Our Lady of Good Counsel, we take this call seriously and offer an array of opportunities that will appeal to the entire community of faith. Throughout the year, our parishioners have many opportunities to:
- gain further knowledge of their faith
- live and experience the liturgical year
- have time of special prayer, and
- live a communal life especially with a missionary spirit.
Each year we select a theme and, through lectures, Bible studies, community gatherings and evenings of meditation and prayer, we carry out this theme. We encourage you to express your interest, needs and concerns to the Parish Life Ministry: Contact Jane McCorkell, 856-235-2374 or mccorkellj@olgcnj.org.
