Faith Formation

Faith Formation is at the heart of our mission, helping individuals of all ages grow deeper in their relationship with Christ and live out their Catholic faith. Across our parishes, we offer opportunities for children, youth, and adults to engage in meaningful spiritual education and preparation for the Sacraments.

Programs for Children and Youth

  • Grades 1–7: Faith Formation classes provide foundational catechesis, helping children understand the Catholic faith and prepare for lifelong discipleship. Registration forms are available at the parish offices and gathering spaces. Classes meet regularly during the school year.
  • Sacramental Preparation: Programs for First Reconciliation and First Communion are integrated into Faith Formation. Families receive specific guidance and support throughout this process.

Youth Ministry

  • Opportunities are available for middle and high school students to deepen their faith through service projects, retreats, and liturgical participation. Contact your local parish office for details on youth programs.

Adult Faith Formation

  • Explore your faith through Bible studies, prayer groups, and adult catechesis programs. Each parish offers unique opportunities to grow in spiritual understanding and community.
