Sound interesting? Want more information? Something you think you would like to consider? Come and experience what learning more of our faith can mean to you. Discipleship Formation is a two-year program helps adults learn more about what being a disciple of Christ really means.

The program helps draw people closer to Christ and His Church through a series of classes, retreats, and other events developed around six themes necessary for Christian living: knowledge of the faith, liturgical life, moral formation, prayer, communal life, and the missionary spirit.

Applications are now available for the 2008-2009 class to be offered in Battle Creek, Benton Harbor, and Kalamazoo. For more information, contact Deacon Kurt Lucas at (269) 349-8714, ext. 234 or klucas@dioceseofkalamazoo.org
