Growing in our faith is a life-long pursuit, so our parish tries to offer diverse opportunities for adult education. There are small group Bible studies, prayer groups, and study clubs available, as well as the following parish-led programs:
Fr. Ammanniti leads “Gospel With Father” most Wednesday mornings following the 8 am Mass in Paulding. Parishioners gather in the church basement to discuss the upcoming Sunday Gospel reading. Coffee and donuts are provided.
C.A.F.E. stands for Catholic Adult Formation and Education. This group meets on Wednesday evenings throughout the school year from 6:45 – 7:45 pm in the Paulding church basement. This is the same time that our religious education classes meet for elementary and middle school, so parents are especially invited to attend. The group covers a variety of topics related to our faith and encourage lively discussion!
Kingdom Builders is open to all women of all faiths and ages and meets in the Paulding church basement on the third Tuesday of every month (except December) from 7 – 8:30 pm. We invite all women to receive the Father’s love through Scripture, Eucharistic Adoration, and planning tools so they may embrace the beauty of their design.
One of the best resources available to all parishioners is our parish subscription to the Catholic streaming service FORMED. FORMED provides the very best Catholic content from more than 60 organizations to help parishes, families and individuals explore their faith anywhere.

Divine Mercy Parish also works with the Diocese of Toledo, through your generous donations to the Annual Catholic Appeal, to offer Franciscan At Home adult education classes. These online courses are open to any parishioners. Contact Theresa Conley for more information.
Books and DVDs are available for registered parishioners to borrow from the parish library at any time. A small selection of books and videos are available on a bookshelf in the Narthex of the Paulding church.
For more information on any of these programs, please contact the parish office.
