The Five Loaves is a great resources for meditation and study between Sundays and everyday! Check out their website! MINISTRY FORMATION PROGRAM (MFP)This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in knowing more about the
Catholic Church and in growing in their faith. Many participants are active in their parish in volunteer roles or are interested in becoming more active. They lead scripture study groups, are on the CEW team, teach faith formation, prepare young people for Confirmation, are dedicated to service projects, or journey with adults as they are initiated into the Catholic Church. Some participants are in part-time or full-time parish ministry and are being trained for specific roles. There are many reasons why people join the MFP (Ministry Formation Program). It is adult faith formation designed to be convenient, theologically sound, and comprehensive in its curriculum. The Ministry Formation Program is more than a program to train people for ministry, it is also a great way to grow in your faith and learn more about how you can become more active in your parish. We offer a basic two-year program for pastoral ministry and specialization tracks in Parish Administration, Liturgy, and Catechetics. You may contact IlaMae Hanisch at [email protected] or 641-791-3435 for additional information. DAYTON UNIVERSITYConsider taking online classes at Dayton University. These classes are typically 3-5 weeks in length and the topics cover many aspects of faith formation. You can even earn a certificate in catechesis or youth ministry to name just a couple!
