About Adult Education

At Saint Paul of the Cross Parish, we believe that there is always more to learn about our faith. Throughout the year, we offer opportunities for adult education courses and fellowship opportunities. Feel free to check out the Ministries and Organizations page to supplement your learning with charitable works and social fellowship throughout our parish. 

Some events below ask for you to "register".  Registration is very helpful in preparing materials and the meeting spaces. If you have trouble with the links below, contact Don Fontana at dfontana@stpaulofthecross.com, or call the parish office, so plans can be made for you to attend.

Parish Presentations

The Sunday Series for 2025

From Nothing to Cosmos -  All Sunday evenings from 7:00-8:00 PM in the DePalma Room

September 21st
October 19th
November 16th

From Nothing to Cosmos is a FORMED presentation in which Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J., PhD., dispenses with the contemporary statement, "Science has proven God does not exist," and then goes on to demonstrate God's existence from science, philosophy, medicine, the transcendentals, and metaphysical proofs. Fr. Spitzer is at once, entertaining and overflowing with pertinent information.



The Tuesday Series for 2025

The Hidden King, The Jewish Roots of St. Joseph - all Tuesday mornings, 8:45 - 10AM @ Convent Dining Room   

September 23rd
October 14th
November 11th

What is your image of St. Joseph? A poor, humble carpenter, or the hidden King of the Jews? An elderly widower, or a man in his prime, the chaste spouse of Mary? The mere legal guardian of the child Jesus, or the earthly shadow of the heavenly Father?


In this audio series, Dr. Brant Pitre takes the popular figure of Saint Joseph and opens up the mysteries of his hidden identity, his relationship with Mary, and his role as the earthly foster-father of Jesus. 

So, if you already have a devotion to Joseph, would like to deepen your relationship with him, or if you just want to understand what the Bible really teaches about the man who was closest to Jesus, then join us Tuesday mornings (9/23, 10/14, 11/11) from 8;45-10 AM in the DePalma Room for this Bible study. More information can be found at The Hidden King or by contacting Don Fontana dfontana@stpaulofthecross.com.
