Faith Formation

One. Holy. Catholic. Apostolic

“Jesus Christ loves you; He gave His life to save you; and now He is living at your side every day to enlighten, strengthen and free you.”

- Pope Francis

You might be reading this page because you are curious about what is involved in becoming a Catholic, or because you firmly desire to join the Catholic Church. Either way, we wish to assure you that at no stage will the Catholic Church put you under any pressure to sign up and become a full member. In fact, you may find the process of becoming a Catholic somewhat slower than you would like… because membership

involves making a firm commitment to God and to the local

Catholic community, and is not to be undertaken lightly! Those wishing to become Catholic enter a systematic program that is known as OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults) to receive the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion. Depending on one’s state in life and which Sacraments are needed, a participant is accompanied through different stages along the OCIA journey.

Faith Formation

Our goal is to assist the youth of our community in striving to attain a mature faith through celebration of the sacraments, worship, catechesis and service.

Class Schedule

Classes for grades 1 through 7 are held Sunday mornings from 9:00 am to 10:15 am.

Grades 8 through 11 are held on Sunday mornings from 10:30 am to 11:45 am.

​

Family Catechesis

Parents are offered the option to catechize their children at home. A flexible approach to faith formation, Family Catechesis offers monthly support and fellowship as well as opportunities for prayer and activities together. Family Catechesis meets monthly on Sundays at 10:30 am to 11:45 am. For more information, please contact the Faith Formation Office.

 

Registration

Registration for the upcoming school year is held in August. After September 1st, parents should contact the Faith Formation Office to schedule an appointment to register.
