Adult Faith Formation

Charismatic Prayer Group

Within the joys and hopes, struggles and challenges, dreams and visions, griefs and anxieties, prayers and reaching out of everyone of us there is the need for growth, the desire for deepening formation, ever-growing closer to our God, one another and all of God's creation. (Excerpted from the SF Archdiocese website.)

Our Mission of Adult Faith Formation:

Add meaningful spiritual experience to our lives by:

  1. Praising God and thanking God for our Blessings.
  2. Scripture Reading and Discussion.
  3. Petitionary Prayers for our Priests, Church, Parishioners, Friends, Relatives, World Leaders, World Peace and for all mankind.
  4. Spiritual Enlightenment.
  5. Discussing Doctrine and Fellowship.
  6. Sharing God’s love.
  7. Manifesting and sharing the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Our Meetings:

Every Thursday in the Saint Francis Room from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Two programs are available:

* Acts of the Apostles
Monday nights at 7pm beginning on September 10. This session will focus on how Christ did not leave His Apostles alone, how the early church accomplished the task of teaching, preaching, and healing, and how we are called to participate in the Kingdom of God. For more information on this session, please contact Richard and Linda Kosta (650) 359-0945 or by email by clicking here.


* Follow Me
 Experience the Joy of Following Christ

Tuesday nights at 7pm beginning on September 11. Following Christ takes more than simply believing in Him or doing what he asks of us. Jesus wants us to be more than just a believer--He wants us to be His disciple and friend. Follow Me invites you to experience the joy of a renewed friendship with Christ.

Secular Franciscans

IS GOD CALLING YOU TO WALK IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI?

Secular Franciscans strive to live the Gospel in the manner of St. Francis by spreading the Gospel by word and example in their homes, at work, and in their parishes. Because we believe that Jesus is present among us, especially in the poor, the broken, the dis-enfranchised, we are compelled to reach out to serve and cherish them.

The Secular Franciscan Order enables the Franciscan charism to be lived by married and single Catholics. Monthly fraternity meetings with their common prayer, formation, and fellowship provide the spiritual nourishment to live as a Christian.

In order to join you must be willing to undergo a period of initial formation - A journey with the fraternity to discover if God is calling you to the Franciscan way of life.

We are blessed at Our Lady of Angels Parish to have a Secular Franciscan Fraternity.

Anyone interested is welcome to contact:
Diane Creedon, OFS at (650) 678-6449 or by email.
Mary Carson, OFS at (650) 342-7161 or by email.


MISSION

We, the members of the Secular Franciscan Order, Junipero Serra Region, called to follow the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the footprints of St. Francis, seek holiness through prayer, action and promotion of the reign of God within the Franciscan Family, the Church, and the World. Because we believe that Jesus is present among us, especially in the poor, the broken, the dis-enfranchised, we are compelled to reach out to serve and cherish them.
