As an outgrowth of the ACTS retreats, G.I.F.T. (Growing In Faith Together) began as a way to continue the journey started by the ACTS experience. A part of the Adult Faith Formation program, it offers regular opportunities for parishioners to learn more about their faith. By actively engaging in these faith-based activities, participants can seek to experience a closer relationship with our Lord.
 
Activities include Bible studies; classes on Catholic teachings, practices, and devotions; days of reflection; weekend retreats; book studies; parish wide concerts; movie events; and special social and service projects. These occur at various times throughout the year. Check the parish bulletin for the latest offerings.
New members are always welcome on the GIFT Team. Parishioners’ suggestions are also welcome anytime. For more information contact the parish office or email stjohnaff@gmail.com.
 
"If we wish to have a lasting, fruitful, and life-changing relationship with God, then our hearts must not just be on fire, but also enlightened by the fullness of revelation." 
                                                                   - Pope Francis 

Come, be enlightened by what the Catholic faith has to reveal about Jesus and His plans for you!
