Faith Formation at St. Peter Cathedral

We begin our profession of faith by saying, "I believe."  We must ask what "to believe" means.  Faith is our response to God who has personally revealed Himself to us in Jesus Christ.  Faith involves a process of searching for God, encountering Him, and finally responding with my whole life. The following parish programs assist people in the various stages of faith:
