Adult Faith Formation at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel exists to make disciples of Jesus Christ. This task of disciple-making involves creating opportunities for people to encounter Jesus (evangelization), to learn what the Catholic Church teaches (catechesis), to discover how to live the faith in their daily lives (discipleship), and equip them to share the Good News of the Gospel with others (missionary action).

Disciple and discipleship are “churchy” terms that we don’t normally hear or use in the course of our daily lives. Because of this, we recognize that it can be confusing when we hear these terms. It’s great to say we want to make disciples, but what is a disciple?
 
A disciple is someone who has had a personal encounter with Jesus and accepted his invitation to follow him; leaving behind one’s own plans, desires, and dreams to take on the joy of journeying with Jesus in this life and the next.
 
We hope to accomplish our goals through the various ministries and events that we offer as part of Adult Faith Formation at OLMC. Please feel free to contact our office with any questions, concerns, or suggestions at olmcAFF@olmc1.org.
