Adult Formation
Come, break open the Word with us!
At St. Nicholas, we provide a variety of ways that you, as an adult, can strengthen your faith and commitment to God.
Monday Night Study
This series is a penetrating and dynamic exploration of the classic grades of prayer from the Doctor of Prayer, St. Teresa of Avila. Beginning with the basics, it illuminates vocal, meditative, and contemplative prayer as the path to union with God.
Like a thrilling drama, it intensifies as it progresses, until it finally culminates in the ecstatic union with God for which every one of us is made.
St. Teresa of Avila’s Nine Grades of Prayer is unlike any series you’ve ever experienced and will leave you breathless at what God has in store for you. This study is a “must” for any Catholic who wants to understand what Christ himself calls the “one thing necessary” in Luke 10.
Join us for this 7 week study starting April 8, 2024!

For the men of the parish:
That Man is You!
Saturday mornings from 6:30-8:00am
For those of you that are unfamiliar with TMIY, it is unlike anything else that you’ve experienced. It tackles real issues facing real men. It looks at the leadership role that has been entrusted to men and addresses the temptations and struggles men face in a culture that attacks authentic manhood. Finally, it helps formulate a plan that allows men to overcome these obstacles.
Here at Saint Nicholas, the program will be hosted every Saturday morning here in the social hall beginning September 16. We gather at 6:30am for individually-wrapped breakfast options and coffee. Then there’s a presentation at 7:00 that combines the best scientific research with the teachings of the Church and wisdom of the saints. It’s followed at 7:30 with breakout groups that provide the opportunity to discuss what’s been presented. Finally, we’re on the road by 8:00, to get back to our families or weekend activities.
The best way to judge a program is by its success. Men who’ve attended the program and have been Catholic their whole lives say this is the program they’ve been waiting for. They consider it a “home run”, saying it is hard to imagine how the program content could get any better. Priests say that it literally transforms men and saves marriages. It’s that powerful. From a test parish in Houston, TX, the That Man is You! program has quickly spread to hundreds of parishes throughout the United States and even internationally.
