THREE
Education for Ministry adult formation groups are offered at St. Patrick’s for
2019-2020.
Group one will
meet Saturday Mornings from 8:00 to
10:30 a.m.
Group two will
meet Wednesday evenings from 7: 00
to 9:30 p.m.
Group one and Group two will meet at St. Patrick’s Episcopal
Church.
Group three: St.
Patrick’s EfM ONLINE is being created for those whose business or family
responsibilities restrict their ability to be at St. Patrick’s every week for
the two-and-a-half-hour class. This
ONLINE Group will meet Tuesday evenings for Theological
Reflection in ONLINE Zoom meetings from
7:30-9:00 p.m. Broken Arrow time. The rest of the class discussion of the
assigned readings takes place between meetings through the University of the
South Blackboard classroom assignments.
EfM participants
enroll for ONE of the groups. Each
group maintains its own group norms and members pledge to respect the privacy of its exclusive group. Each
group is limited to 6-12 persons.
Groups meet weekly from September through May each year. The Oklahoma diocese sponsors $100 of each
student’s tuition which reduces the cost to $375. Because
our parish is committed to “ all people finding Christ in themselves and others
by practicing the Gospel in the world”, additional scholarship funds are also
available to assist as needed.
