Faith
and Fellowship
Faith and Fellowship is an ongoing program of faith
formation designed for adults who have mental illness. Using a model similar to the RCIA,
groups of 10-15 people gather regularly for reflection, prayer, and agape. There is a
network of these parish-based communities that provide both inclusion and spiritual
support for their members. Training and archdiocesan approved catechetical materials are
provided. Contact Connie Rakitan (Program Director) 708/383-9276, or faith_fellowship@hotmail.com.
