The Big Picture

March 2026 All Parish Formation

God gives us shepherds to guide us through life.

God shares his life with us. Through the gift of divine life, we are able to live a deeply meaningful life in the Church, loving as he loves and living with hope, anticipating the eternal happiness that awaits us in heaven. God acts through the sacraments, dispensing the fruits of Christ’s Paschal Mystery throughout the world. The precious gift of life God shares with his people in the sacraments is made possible by God calling forth men to serve him and his people in the Church.

Come learn more about Holy Orders,
the priesthood of the baptized,
and how St. Faustina & Pope St. John Paul II
can inspire us in our journey towards heaven!

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.
