Join us for an in-depth study of Veritatis Splendor, Pope St. John Paul II’s landmark encyclical on moral theology. Written in 1993, this teaching remains profoundly relevant today as it addresses truth, freedom, conscience, and the moral challenges facing our world.

About our Program
The Adult Faith Formation Process of Saint Bede Catholic Church recognizes the importance of the catechesis of adults, strives to promote and nourish a mature adult faith that will foster true discipleship. Parishioners are invited to encounter Jesus and grow in the fullness of their Catholic faith through a comprehensive catechetical and spiritual formation process. We also strive to foster a growing Adult Ministry program to encourage retreat opportunities and fellowship events. Check here often for additional program offerings!
If you would like to see additional programs offered and/or have some ideas, please contact Deacon Grimm or call the office at
