St. John of the Cross Parish

If you’ve ever wanted to understand your Catholic faith more deeply but weren’t sure where to begin, our Adult Faith Formation Series is the perfect place to start. This engaging series—led by Fr. Michael Stalla—guides you step-by-step through Scripture, uncovering the foundations of our beliefs and how they unfold throughout the Bible. Each session offers clear teaching, practical insights, and opportunities to grow in your spiritual life, whether you’re brand new to faith formation or looking to deepen what you already know.

Best of all, every session is completely FREE. Join us for one week or journey with us through the entire series.
