Why enroll your children in Faith Formation?

Because we are here to help you fulfill the promise you made at your child’s Baptism. The promise to share the love of God with them and to raise them to understand their Catholic Faith. We, as parents, have all kinds of amazing goals we want our children to achieve: good grades so they can get into a great college, social skills that help them succeed in our society, athletic skills so they remain active and healthy, the list goes on. But, the most important job that we have as parents is to make sure they become Saints in heaven and we work at this by being great role models for them in our Faith. We attend church every weekend, we put God first in all things, we pray together as a family and we put Faith Formation as a priority in our weekly activities.

That is where our Faith Formation Ministry comes in, we are here to meet you where you are in ways that work for your family. We offer classes for children 3 years old through Confirmation in 9th grade and have a Youth Group for our High School teens. We also offer a home-school option where parents lead their family in weekly Faith Lessons.
