Faith Formation

Annulment Advocacy

As part of both the Marriage Preparation Ministry and the Healing Ministry of the parish, our church offers formal assistance, through advocates, for those who have suffered through the difficulties of a broken marriage and are eager to receive an ecclesiastical declaration of nullity.

Depending upon the time it takes to gather documents and compete depositions, the annulment process can last anywhere from 6 months to a year.

Apostolado Matrimonios y Familias

Somos un Apostolado Católico que con la guía del Espíritu Santo, tiene como misión principal enseñar que la santificación del matrimonio es actual y posible. Buscamos que cada matrimonio llegue a la perfección a la que ha sido destinado “desde toda la eternidad”, en la medida en que los cónyuges se conozcan, se acepten y se amen.

Para lograr esta misión nos apoyamos en una pastoral basada en las enseñanzas del Magisterio de la Santa Madre Iglesia, a través de actividades de formación, vivencia espiritual, vivencia sacramental y vivencia comunitaria que dan a los esposos herramientas a nivel práctico y espiritual, fortaleciendo así el vínculo entre ellos necesario para comunicar el amor y la misericordia de Dios a toda la familia.

Baptismal Prep

The Baptismal preparation program is fully described in another section of this webpage, and is presented by a team of faith-filled parishioners, led by our parish Deacon, who train young parents and godparents in the meaning and responsibilities of Christian Baptism. The seminars are presented once or twice per month, based on need.

They are also available both in English and Spanish. Team members work together to assist families in fulfilling their baptismal preparation requirements, so as to enable them to fully participation in the happy occasion of these sacred rites.

Fully Engaged

A major component part of our Marriage Preparation Program is the accompaniment of engaged couples in a compatibility test and a discussion of the results lead by an experienced married "mentor couple."

Offered both in English and Spanish, mentor couples are trained to foster communication and reflection in the engaged couple through the methodology of caring conversation done in the informal setting of the home.

Marriage Enrichment

As support for the deepening and maturing of the Marital Covenant, our parish offers retreats, seminars, personal counsel, and opportunities for the renewal of Marriage Vows for all those married by the Church who are seeking to enrich their marriage.

Pilgrimage Ministry

Saint Gregory Church is pleased to offer faith enrichment opportunities through its pilgrimage ministry. Group travel, via day-trips or 10-day visits to international destinations of our Catholic spiritual patrimony, can be exciting and thoroughly enriching to our journey of faith.

Prominent among the international pilgrimage opportunities are the twice-annual visits to the Holy Land, led by the Pastor of Saint Gregory, who is a member of the Equestrian Order of the Knight of the Holy Sepulcher.

RCIA

Saint Gregory Catholic Church is happy to offer adults the opportunity to come together in a small group to learn more about the Catholic faith through the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. The RCIA is way that early Christians joined the Church through its Sacraments. The program serves:

• Unbaptized adults and young persons who have reached the age of reason and wish to become Catholic;
• Those baptized in another Christian Church who are seeking full communion with the Roman Catholic Church and seek the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation;
• Baptized Catholic adults who were baptized as infants in the Catholic Church and now seek the Sacraments of Eucharist and/or Confirmation.

El Rito de Iniciación Católica para Adultos (RICA), es un itinerario de 7 a 8 meses para adultos que no han recibido los Sacramentos de Iniciación Católica, (Bautizo, Comunión y Confirmación). La RICA se basa en cuatro puntos claves enrizados en la oración, evangelización, catequesis y formación fundamentada en el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, las Sagradas Escrituras y las Enseñanzas de la Iglesia Católica:

• Invitar a adultos no bautizados a convertirse en miembros de la iglesia católica.
• Re-integrar a adultos bautizados en la fe católica que no han sido catequizados o se han alejado de la fe.
• Integrar a la iglesia a católica a personas bautizadas en otras comunidades cristianas.
• Invitar a esos tres grupos de personas a vivir un itinerario espiritual que les ayude a madurar en su fe y a integrarse y enriquecer a su comunidad católica.
