Adult Formation: WHY ARE SMALL GROUPS RECOMMENDED? The rationale behind our recommending small groups as the preferred platform for adult formation is partially because of the variety of preferences and interests within each generation. Adult formation in the past may have been traditionally structured on the availability of the priest to provide the actual teaching. With a small group, structure formation can be tailored to the subject interests of various adults. Furthermore, none of the teachings is dependent upon the priest, as small groups utilize resources provided by the diocese or various publishers per the parish’s discretion. Small groups allow for greater versatility. They expand the number of topics that can be covered in adult formation. In the past, with only one opportunity for adult formation “in the parish hall on Tuesday night” the priest himself was responsible for doing the teaching. One group gathered for the teaching. One group was engaged with adult formation. With small groups, parishes can literally have dozens of different adult formation tracts moving parallel all at the same time. Each tract is tailored to the learning style and interest of the different generations.

St. Bridget Small group Faith communities are here. Please pray about your participation in a small group. Send your name to St. Bridget's office or call Church office and our Adult formation team will contact you with details. We have small group facilitators and host families that will open their homes to our adults. Please pray for our adults in formation.
