Adult Education has three main goals:
1. Helping individuals and groups understand and live the Gospel to the fullest extent possible;
2. Helping to prepare the believers to exercise a prophetic voice in today's world; and
3. Helping adults share their faith with the next generation.
To accomplish these goals, the parish offers several Bible Studies, Adult Enrichment Programs, and an Annual Parish Mission.
