Inspired by the important role Ananias played in St. Paul's journey to Jesus...

listen lovingly to their real questions and opinions about God in order to guide the discovery of how God is present and active in a person's life.


GOAL: To form “Ananiases” — people equipped to walk with others in faith (inside & outside the parish), within the context of one's own charisms and vocations.

Tools for Formation:
INDIVIDUAL SELF-STUDY

Having Ananiases available in your community to accompany people, whether they are seekers or disciples, formally and informally begins to transform the culture of silence into a culture where it becomes normal to encounter Jesus and hear his call to follow him in the midst of his Church as his disciple.

Maximize Your Impact with Deeper Formation
MD 101 is a prerequisite that lays the foundation focusing on deeper understanding of the thresholds of conversion and current religious landscape as discussed in the book Forming Intentional Disciples.
MD 201, often called “Kerygma Boot Camp,” equips leaders to proclaim the Great Story of Jesus with clarity and confidence—one-on-one, in small groups, and in retreat settings for all ages.
Ananias Training, Making Disciples, and the Forming Intentional Disciples book study are all core components of our two-year Generation of Saints process—a comprehensive formation initiative for parish or diocesan teams inspired by the 17th-century French generation of saints.
Unlike Making Disciples Workshops on their own, Generation of Saints is designed to form both parish ministry leaders and parishioners from the pews together, preparing everyone to fully engage with the deeper formation offered in Making Disciples when they reach that stage. This journey equips teams to foster personal faith, form intentional disciples, and build a lasting culture of apostolic mission.
