Formation for those ready to go deeper in discipleship.At Saint Luke, formation is a journey. Each part of that journey helps us respond more deeply to the Lord's invitation to become missionary disciples.
FIRE Parish-wide formation that ignites and strengthens the faith of our entire parish family.BLAZE Intentional formation accompanying those preparing to receive the Sacraments.FORGE Deeper formation for disciples ready to be strengthened, refined, and equipped for mission.What are FORGE Nights?An Invitation to Go Deeper
While FIRE Nights gather our entire parish family for formation, FORGE Nights are designed for those who desire a more intentional and focused path of growth: those who sense the Lord calling them beyond the basics and into something more.
If FIRE ignites the flame, FORGE is where that flame is strengthened, refined, and made ready for mission.
Why FORGE?Growth Doesn't Happen by Accident.
Just as metal is shaped and strengthened in the fire, our hearts are formed through intentional prayer, sacrifice, discipline, and grace.
FORGE creates space to take the next step in discipleship and develop the practices needed for a mature Catholic life.
“This is where formation becomes intentional.”What FORGE BuildsFormed for a Life of Discipleship
FORGE Nights exist to help translate the desire for holiness into an intentional way of life.
