Adult Education Ministries

---

Adult Education Ministries at Old St. Patrick’s strive to create environments and opportunities that foster adult learning and deepen our knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith tradition. We also welcome opportunities to explore and appreciate the wisdom of other spiritual traditions.
​
Adult Education Ministries host lectures, workshops, courses, and book, film and theater discussions. Most of our programs take place at Old St. Patrick’s, but we also offer satellite location programming through the Offsite/Insight project.
