Adult Faith Formation – Ministry Resources

Webinar Follow-Up: Spiritual Engagement of Adults

Thank you to all who were able to join us for our virtual conversation, "Spiritual Engagement of Adults in the Time of Coronavirus"! Both sessions provided rich conversation and were both helpful and hopeful. 

Some resources to share: 

If you are interested in getting in touch with any of the webinar panelists or the OEEC staff, please do not hesitate to email nicole.perone@aohct.org. 

Please do check your emails for the OEEC email blast - if you do not receive it, please let me know as soon as possible - for more information about upcoming webinars and virtual conversations, as well as resources and consulting available through the OEEC. 

Resources from the Archdiocese of Hartford

The OEEC has begun to curate two different menus of resources:

  • The first is for those who minister to adults in faith formation.
  • The second is for those adults seeking faith formation of their own.
These documents are continually being edited and expanded by the OEEC as we become aware of more resources and explore new options. We especially welcome any suggestions of resources, programs, or tools that you have experienced.
 
Please contact us (see below) to share feedback!
