Family Faith Formation
Early Childhood | Elementary | Middle and High School
FAMILY FAITH FORMATION SESSIONS for 2024-2025.
Open registration for parishioners is August 1st – August 21st. Sessions will begin the week of September 29th. Tuition is $70/child not to exceed $210.
Please note that children must participate in two years of formation prior to preparing their mind, heart and soul to receive in gratitude the sacraments through which they will encounter Jesus Christ.
The sacrament of Baptism leads the baptized to new life in Christ and equips us for a journey ,initiated by God, to strive for holiness, to become a living disciple of Jesus Christ, and ultimately to become a saint. As a Catholic community, together we journey on the path of discipleship through all stages of human development, beginning in early childhood, through elementary age, middle and high school.
Your desire to have your child formed in the Catholic faith is pleasing to our Lord. It is a privilege to support you in this endeavor and, on behalf of Father Matt and the Family Formation Team, we are committed to serving your family and accompanying your children as they discover the mercy and love of Jesus Christ.
The Family Faith Formation Team has developed ideals grounded in the Church’s teaching on the life and mission of the baptized and the family. There are a number practices under each ideal for you to consider on just how we should live out the gift of Baptism.
