Welcome to Oremus: A Guide to Catholic Prayer!
Prayer is at the heart of our relationship with God. Do you struggle to pray, or do you long for a deeper prayer life? Join us to learn the essentials of fruitful prayer through this study by Fr. Mark Toups of Ascension Press. Participants will have opportunities to practice what they learn and discuss their experiences with others.
Large- and small-group discussions will be led by Deacon Scott; JB and Mary Beth McGuire; and David Benner. We will draw on the wisdom of the saints and the time-tested prayers of the Catholic Church. You will learn how to lift your prayers to God, hear His voice, and overcome common difficulties in prayer.
Oremus (Õ-rÃ-mus) is an eight-session study from Ascension Press beginning Sunday, October 11, 2026, at 10:45 a.m., immediately following the 9:30 a.m. Mass, in Room B of the Conmy Center. Registration is required. The study workbook that will be used can be purchased at AscensionPress.com.

Theology 101: Faith and Revelation.
Deepen Your Faith! Curious about the foundations of our Catholic faith? Join Theology 101, a new series of classes for Adult Faith Formation. We will explore the core teachings of the Church. This class is intended for Catholic adults who want to learn more about their faith, the church’s traditions, teachings, and connect with fellow parishioners. Each session will be a combination of lectures and discussions guided by Fr. Joshua. Please see Fr. Joshua after all masses for more information.
New Session starts Wednesday, September 26th
This year’s theme is “The Blessed Trinity and Our Christian Vocation.”
The Blessed Trinity and Our Christian Vocation explores the Blessed Trinity—one God existing in three Divine Persons—as the core mystery of the Christian faith. Drawing from Sacred Scripture, it reviews the role of each Person within the divine plan of salvation. Additionally, this text highlights the significance of the Blessed Virgin Mary as the Mother of the Church and as an Intercessor for all humanity.
The following book should be purchased before the start of the class – at the following link: The Blessed Trinity – Parish Series

Order of Christian Initiation for Adults
OCIA is a wonderful process of initiation into the Catholic faith. It is a journey of knowledge, faith, and heart as we explore together what it means to be Catholic. The OCIA, originally designed for adults seeking Baptism, has been adapted to welcome all over the age of seven seeking Baptism, Confirmation, and/or Eucharist. Enrollment is ongoing; the full process takes approximately one year, depending on the catechumen / candidate’s progress.
The Diocese of St. Petersburg requires that children / youth complete one full year of catechesis to be eligible for initiation. This year may be completed in the parish Faith Formation Program (regular grade level) or Catholic School.
