Spanish-language faith formation program begins Jan. 9

MISHAWAKA — A free monthly program of evangelization and faith formation will begin Jan. 9, offered by the Office of Hispanic Ministry of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend. The sessions will be conducted in Spanish, and all Spanish-speakers are invited to join in.

The sessions will take place both virtually, on Facebook Live, and in person from 9:30 a.m. to noon the second Saturday of each month. Those who would like to attend in person at St. John the Evangelist Parish, Goshen, must preregister by Jan. 2. Space is limited for in-person participation so that social distancing can take place.

Each session will include a main topic, tips on methodology, personal reflection and group dialogue. The topics include: Who is Jesus? What is discipleship? How do I discern my gifts and talents? Other topics will be prayer, spiritual healing, new life in Christ, biblical foundations, pastoral leadership and more.
