OCTOBER 14, 21 & 28 | 6:30-8 PM | SACRED HEART HALL (ST. FRANCES CABRINI CAMPUS)

What is it about? Forming Intentional Disciples is a book that puts into words many of the challenges facing the Catholic Church in today's culture. Sherry Weddell starts with statistics which brings to the fore some of the problems facing the church.

• Only 30% of Americans who are raised Catholic are still practicing.
• Only 10% of all adults in America are ex-Catholics.
• The majority of Catholics are not certain that you can have a personal relationship with God.

The beauty of the book is that it doesn't just define some of the things that aren't working anymore. It offers solutions, and the solutions it proposes are relational. Evangelization is all about relationship: Christ's invitation, our relationship with Christ, our relationship with each other and sharing our faith with others — not just in words but in action. 

The book provides a process to lead people from a passive relationship with Jesus and the Church to an active, intentional discipleship. When parishioners begin to actively follow Jesus, their life is transformed and they, in turn, transform the life of the parish.
