"In short, the MFP has literally changed my life! Not to sound cheesy but the light bulb went off within the last year and now I "get it." I thank God everyday for leading me to this program and back to the church." S.D., Iowa City (a current participant) The Ministry Formation Program is more than a program to train people for ministry, it is also a great way to grow in your faith and learn more about how you can become more active in your parish. MFP Basic Year I Courses 2009-2010 ICN participants meet two Saturdays per month from 9 a.m. - 4p.m. at ICN locations around the Diocese. Non-ICN participants review the recorded ICN classes and then meet once a month for three hours for small group work. Your schedule is determined by your group and its facilitator. Two options are available for this program: a) one meeting a month (times and locations around the diocese) or b) two Saturdays a month (uses the Iowa Communication Network also in several locations around the diocese). The following two programs will be offered for 2009-10. The class schedule follows. Information including overview, application, and schedule is available for download for use within the Diocese of Davenport. Register for one course or for full curriculum.
