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 Tuesday Series for 2025

Hope in the Lord - all Tuesday mornings, 8:45 - 10AM @ Convent Dining Room   

January 14th - The Hope that Never Fades, Hope & Grace
February 4th - Hope & Sorrow, Hope When There Is No Hope
March 4th - Hope & Prayer, Hope & Death
May 6th - Hope In Eternal Life

Hope in the Lord is an EWTN series hosted by Fr. Benedict Groeschel. Questions answered and topics discussed in this video presentation are those we turn over in our minds at least a dozen times a day. What is Hope? Why hope, in the face of disappointment and sorrow? Can we honestly replace pain of dashed hopes, with the Hope that never fades? Priceless reflections gleaned from decades of service in the field of ministry to encourage us.
 

 

The Sunday Series for 2025

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

January 12th - The Borde-Vilenkin-Guth Proof for a Beginning of Expanding Universes
February 9th - The Evidence of a Beginning from Entropy Universe
March 2nd - The Fine Tuning of Universal Conditions & Constants
May 4th - The Multiverse vs. Supernatural Design

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.
