Adult Faith Formation

Our Adult Faith Formation program offers:

Bible Study
Our Bible Study Programs are offered during the year on either 6wk, 8wk, or 12wk sessions depending upon the study.  They are open to all, both parishioners and non parishioners.


Theology of the Body
This is a new program at SCDA is offered in 6wk sessions.
The 'Theology of the Body' is Pope John Paul II's integrated vision of the human person - body, soul, and spirit. As he explains, the physical human body has a specific meaning and is capable of revealing answers regarding fundamental questions about us and our lives:
  • Is there a real purpose to life and if so, what is it?
  • Why were we created male and female? Does it really matter if we are one sex or another?
  • Why were man and woman called to communion from the beginning? What does the marital union of a man and woman say to us about God and his plan for our lives?
  • What is the purpose of the married and celibate vocations?
  • What exactly is "Love"?
  • Is it truly possible to be pure of heart?

Backyard Theology
This is an annual Summer event at SCDA that originated in the backyards of many of our parishioners.  We have grown, so the program is now offered at the Parish Hall.  There is a special theme and speaker for each evening and the dates can be found on our calendar.
