On June 7, Bishop Alberto Rojas awarded certificates of completion to 37 graduates of the Continuing Ministry Formation Program (CMFP) during a special Mass at Our Lady of Hope Parish in San Bernardino. The CMFP is a 3-5 year adult enrichment program as well as a credential program for coordinators of ministries to prepare them to serve the Church as lay ecclesial ministers supporting the Pastor or Pastoral Coordinator in enacting the parish and diocesan vision. The CMFP provides formation which encompasses the human, spiritual, intellectual and pastoral aspects of each person's personal development. We’re incredibly grateful for these devoted laypeople who spent the last three years growing in faith, knowledge, and ministry. Please join us in celebrating their incredible accomplishment!
