Welcome back! Thanks to the grace of God, it looks like AVCC will be able to offer faith formation sessions on site next year. Hallelujah! We can't wait to see everybody live and in person! And to get ready, our faith formation team is busy planning a very welcoming, dynamic, and engaging program to bring all our K-12 students back! We also learned during Covid, that digital platforms can be very effective and helpful tools for religious education and sacramental preparation. As we continue to grow as discipleship leaders, we are excited about being able to offer both instructional models in a hybrid approach that will help to make faith formation even more accessible to everyone!

It helps to explain why we are engaged in this endeavor of taking up study of the Bible. AsThis four-week study focuses on how the Second Vatican Council clarified and updated the place of the Bible for the Church in the document known as Dei Verbum. The council expanded the use of Bible texts in the lectionary and encouraged our personal study. such, the character of this study is more ABOUT the Bible than a study OF the Bible.
