Awakening
The journey begins with wonder, desire, meaning, the story of salvation, and God's initiative in Jesus Christ.
The Holy Journey Pathway
Faith is a journey. Formation should have a path.
A progressive Catholic adult formation journey ordered toward deeper conformity to Jesus Christ by grace, within the life of His Church.
Three movements · seven volumes
From awakening to holiness.
Awakening
Movement I · Volume 1Core Formation
Movement II · Volumes 2–5Conversion
The Good News is received more directly through the Paschal Mystery, mercy, repentance, Baptism, grace, and life in the Holy Spirit.
Following Is Daily
Faith moves into ordinary practice: receiving the Word, prayer, worship, the sacraments, and ongoing conversion.
The Battle for the Human Heart
The interior life: desire, freedom, habits, temptation, sin, grace, and the direction of the heart.
The Mind of Christ
Mature moral and practical judgment through freedom, conscience, prudence, virtue, charity, discernment, and wisdom.
Mission & Holiness
Movement III · Volumes 6–7Every Disciple Is Sent
The journey becomes missionary: vocation, gifts, service, accompaniment, works of mercy, and the mission of the Church.
Universal Call to Holiness
The mature horizon: every Christian's call to holiness and eternal communion with God.

Catholic identity
Within the life of His Church.
Holy Journey receives the faith taught by the Catholic Church through Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, the Magisterium, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The Church is not a container around the program; formation takes place within her sacramental, communal, liturgical, and missionary life.
Begin with a 30-minute conversation.
Meet with the Founders or a Parish Success Coach to talk through your parish, your timing, and whether Holy Journey is a good fit. No obligation and no pressure.
