This document outlines a parish discipleship pathway to help parishioners grow in their faith from initial stages of being pre-trust or trusting to becoming a seeking disciple or apostle. It includes several programs and resources mapped out in a timeline to guide parishioners in their faith journey, including Alpha, Walking with Purpose, That Man is You, Symbolon/RCIA, Formed, Called and Gifted sessions, and becoming a parish missionary. The goal is to help more parishioners deepen their connection to God and become actively seeking and sharing their faith with others.

2. Lord Jesus Christ,
We thank you for having called us together here.
We offer you what we are about to undertake,
everything we think, do and experience
during time dedicated to your honor.
Grant that we may begin this conversation
with a spirit of hope and anticipation
That you will feed our hearts and souls in the days ahead...
in the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
