The Discipleship Commission is responsible for linking community ministries with formation ministries in order to build a community of disciples here at St. Charles Parish. While some social activity and formation opportunities may be a joined event, there may also be events designed to simply build community within the parish. Additionally, there will be opportunities for deeper growth as a disciple in a variety of ways, including preparation for the sacraments. The Director of Discipleship and Evangelization is the staff resource member for this commission.
