Family Faith Formation

St. Patrick Church's Family Faith Formation Program invites parishioners to gain a greater understanding of the Catholic faith, deepen their spiritual life with God through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit, and radiate joy by their actions.  The programs we offer help you as an individual or as a family to grow in your knowledge of the Catholic faith. Check our events page to find out the latest updates of programs being offered.

“The Enthronement is the official and social recognition of the rule of the Sacred Heart of Jesus over the Christian family, a recognition affirmed, outwardly expressed and made permanent by the solemn installation of the image of the divine Heart in a conspicuous place in the home, and by the Act of Consecration.” (Fr. Mateo, 1907)

• A ceremony where Jesus is invited into your home and is given authority over your family/household.
• A ceremony that takes place in your home as an act of homage offered to Jesus Christ, King of Kings.
• A social recognition of the kingship of Jesus over the home and all of society.
• An act of reparation to make up for all who have “dethroned” Jesus in our secular world.
• An event where an image of Our Lord’s Sacred Heart is given a place of honor in the home.

Have you ever considered that your day-to-day struggles are, at their core, timeless and universal? Though your challenges are deeply personal, they are also deeply human, and God has provided workable solutions for you through the teachings of Christ and the Roman Catholic Church.

Walking with Purpose would like to help you enjoy a deeper personal relationship with Jesus Christ, nurtured through personal Bible study and small group discussions created just for women.

The heart of our ministry is our parish-based Bible study program for adult women. Run by local lay women volunteers, approved by parish pastors, and supported by Walking with Purpose national staff, our parish programs welcome all women irrespective of faith background, age, or marital status. The program incorporates at-home Scripture study, weekly small group discussion, and monthly talks on relevant study material.

Each parish program is led by a volunteer leadership team whose members receive online training and ongoing mentoring through our acclaimed leadership development program. The Walking with Purpose leadership development program gives leaders the tools needed to effectively evangelize women in the parish community and the confidence to launch a WWP parish program without depleting scarce parish resources.

Walking with Purpose supports the use of our Bible studies in a variety of ways in order to lead hearts to Christ where He is found in Scripture.

• Present practical Biblical teachings consistent with Church doctrine;
• Vary in length and depth to meet the needs of different women;
• Utilize the Catechism of the Catholic Church as an additional resource;
• Have received the imprimatur from Most Reverend William E. Lori, Archbishop of Baltimore
