Adult and Family Ministry at St. Alphonsus is dedicated to helping parishioners develop their personal spirituality in Christ and their identification within the Catholic community. Through this ministry the parish responds to the stages of adult development and family life in a way that prepares individuals and families to participate in their baptismal call. "Family" includes single people, dual and single parents, and healing families of those who are separated, divorced, widowed, and remarried. Programs are designed around these goals.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults: This process is for unbaptized adults, those baptized in other Christian traditions, and those baptized in the Catholic church but not raised in the faith, who now wish to be received into the Catholic church or complete their initiation within the church. The reception of the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist is celebrated annually at the Easter Vigil. Preparation takes place throughout the year. For additional information, call the Director of Adult and Family Ministry at the Christian Formation Office. 

Adult Confirmation: Adults who have already been baptized and have received their first communion and are now seeking the sacrament of Confirmation are invited to participate in a process in collaboration with our neighboring parishes. The sacrament is celebrated during the Easter Vigil. For additional information, call the Director of Adult and Family Ministry at the Christian Formation Office. 

V.I.S.I.O.N. (Volunteers In Spiritual Service In Our Neighborhood): The VISION Ministry is an ecumenical group representing six churches of southwest Milwaukee County. The concern of the group is to extend the healing presence of the church to those people confined to their homes or health care facilities by building nontraditional relationships/bridges between churches and health care systems.
