Adult Faith Formation
Religious Education Director:
Theresa Palmisano, 703-979-5580, tpalmisano@olqpva.org
Parish adults are invited to explore and grow in their faith life by participating in any of the following programs. Please check the parish calendar for times and locations.
Theology on Tap
Two opportunities per month are offered for small groups to meet informally and discuss matters of faith. Parish theologians facilitate these casual group conversations around a table at a neighborhood pub.
Catholic Foundations Class
During this class, a specific topic is presented by one of our clergy, followed by interactive discussion. This class meets once a month. NB: Due to parish building renovations this program has been adapted for the 2016-2017 school year.
Good News People Program
Adults meet in small group settings, 14 times over the course of the year, to explore our faith through the lens of discipleship. Course materials and discussion topics are provided. Good News People 1 is now in session Good News People 2 with a focus on Mercy is new this year.
ED Talks: Challenging Your Mind, Soul and Heart, in honor of Fr. Ed Kelly CSSp. & Stone Soup Suppers
"ED Talks" encourages parishioners to engage in Public Policy advocacy by informing them on current issues that are close to the heart of the parish. "Stone Soup Suppers" illuminate the 3 pillars of Lent (prayer, fasting, alms-giving) through the lens of Catholic Social Teaching. These two speaker series programs look for volunteers to help plan events, as well as pick themes for each series. Logistical support such as making soup is also volunteer-based. Please consider participating.

OLQP Library
The OLQP library, currently on hiatus due to renovations, houses a collection numbering over 5,000 volumes relating to religious studies and social justice concerns. The books are shelved according to 21 different categories covering subject matter such as Black Studies, Peace, Spirituality, Scripture, Catholic Church, and Religious Pluralism. Many of the books have become recognized religious classics and are now out of print. In addition, the library subscribes to five periodicals, including America, Commonweal, and The Tablet, a British weekly magazine. Located in Father Ray Hall, the library serves as a valuable resource for parishioners and ministries. Borrowing is based on a self-service honor system: signed out by the patron and returns made in a timely manner.

Bible Studies
Get to know the Bible by attending a series of Saturday workshops offered during the seasons of Advent and Lent. Watch the bulletin for details.
Intergenerational Activities
These activities are designed to engage the whole community, regardless of age. Opportunities for service and reflection are offered throughout the year to provide experiences of practiced faith (discipleship). Together we glean vegetables from local farms to feed the poor of our community, watch and process "movies with a moral" , bake holidays pies to accompany food baskets, knit scarves for the cold, and bake cookies for the imprisoned.
