Adult Formation
St Charles Borromeo parish community offers any opportunities for spiritual growth for adults. Bible study and small faith sharing groups provide one to one interaction. Large group events include presentations on lives of the saints and the yearly joint parish mission with St. Roman Parish. Special events such as the Living Rosary and the Celebration of Consecrated Life enrich all of our parishes.
