Children's Faith Formation

 

Thank you for your interest in our faith formation program! The family is often referred to as the "domestic church," serving as the primary educator of our Catholic faith. Our mission is to support you in nurturing and guiding your children, grandchildren, and neighbors in our shared Catholic beliefs. As parents, we invest time in a variety of activities for our children, including homework, sports, music and dance lessons, tutoring, martial arts, and clubs. While these opportunities are undoubtedly valuable, it is crucial not to overlook the most significant lesson of all: preparing for our inevitable meeting with God. Are we adequately equipped for this encounter? For information on available classes, schedules, registration details, and forms, please continue reading below or stop by the Community Center to speak with a member of our Faith Formation team. We are here to assist you in this vital journey of faith.
