We have various Adult formation events throughout the year.
Upcoming events will be listed here, in the bulletin and on facebook.
SMM Church will offer a faith formation class on the Gospel of John taught by SMM School Principal Patrick Tiernan on Sunday November 8th from 3-5pm in a Zoom virtual meeting. Study materials will be provided at no cost to participants. It is recommended but not required that you read the Gospel beforehand.
The class will offer an overview of the fourth and last account of Jesus’ life and resurrection, emphasizing his divinity more so than the Synoptic Gospels. Jesus is the “Word made Flesh,” presenting signs and teachings that show his true nature as a prophet and savior of humanity.
We will also consider the interpretation of key passages, including the challenges behind translations and historical context. The author John is commonly associated with three letters (First, Second, and Third John) and the book of Revelation in the New Testament known collectively as the body of Johannine literature.
Participants will develop a deeper appreciation for Scripture and its role in their faith journey. To receive class materials and the meeting link, please email Patrick Tiernan or call the parish at (302) 652-6800.
