The Big Picture
November 2025 All Parish Formation
God lays the foundation of divine life through the sacraments of initiation.
The created world and all human life is a gift, a gift from God that speaks of his love. And, still, God has more he wants to give. He shares his own life through grace, raising the creature above its own nature to make it mysteriously share in God’s own life. This doubly gratuitous gift, so good that it cannot belong to the nature of the creature but is of God himself, is given through the sacraments and for the first time in Baptism.
Come learn more about this double gift!

What is The Big Picture?
THE BIG PICTURE is our all parish formation program. All adults, parents, teens, and children are invited to learn about the big picture story of the faith and the life God wants to share with us.
At parish wide, in-person sessions of THE BIG PICTURE, adults receive formation apart from the children. The teaching is engaging and informative, geared at helping our adult parishioners understand better what the Church teaches, so that they may believe it more ardently and live it more fully.
For families who participated in Family of Faith last year, know that the format is the same but the name is new when you go to register! Learn more about participating as a family.
School children at Blessed Trinity and St. John will receive The Big Picture curriculum in school, but it will be more powerful if parents are learning alongside their children and growing alongside them in the home. To empower school parents in doing so, they are highly encouraged to attend the all parish in-person sessions.
