Children and Youth Faith Formation

Our children’s Faith Formation programs (1st - 7th grade) works in partnership with parents to help form children along their faith journey. It is important that parents understand their primary vocation as catechists to their children as defined by the Catholic Church. Children first experience their Catholic faith at home with their family. Our children's Faith Formation Program is here to assist you.  

8th grade Faith Formation is Confirmation I and is a requirement to move on to Confirmation II in the 9th grade.  

Our goal in Faith Formation is to guide and help young people learn what it means to follow Jesus Christ and to live as his disciples today, empowering them to serve others and to work toward a world built on the vision and values of the reign of God. This was proclaimed in the homily in Denver (1993) at World Youth Day by Pope John Paul II.

As a baptized member of the Church, Jesus Christ calls you to follow in his footsteps and make a difference in the world today. You can make a difference! 

In the words of the Holy Father: "Offer your youthful energies and your talents to building a civilization of Christian love . . . commit yourself to the struggle for justice, solidarity, and peace"  

Adult Faith Formation

Our programs for adult Faith formation aims to help the faithful (ages 19 and up) to grow in both human and Christian maturity, enriching the whole of life with the leaven of the Gospel.  We strive to promote goals and content that will embrace all the faith dimensions of an adult life—for example, understanding and communicating the faith, skills needed for personal growth, the experience of family life, relationships, public service, and concern for the common good.  (Young Adults, R.C.I.A., Small Faith & Bible Groups, Men & Women Retreats)
