Child & Youth Ministries
Developing a relationship with God is a life-long process of faith formation. This process begins with you, parents and guardians, the primary models and educators of faith and life in action. We are dedicated to supporting and supplementing the faith foundation that you have established at home. Our programs offer Christian Formation to the children and youth of our community based on the elements, traditions, and teachings of the Catholic Church.

SMALL FAITH SHARING GROUPS
One of the ways Christians have been gathering since the very beginning is in small faith sharing groups. These are groups of 6-12 people who gather on a regular basis to: share personal experiences of God’s work in our life; support one another’s lives of service within and without the community; reflect on Scripture or other materials; to challenge one another to live out the gospel and become intentional disciples; to focus on our faith and God’s presence in our daily lives. Cluster groups meet at parish sites or in individual’s homes throughout the year, generally for six weeks at a time. Groups meet on different days of the week, with day and evening groups available. Past offerings have included the Sunday Scripture Readings, Special Prayer, Advent and Lenten books.
Suggestions are always welcome.
Ages 18+
The acronym RCIA stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. It is a process for anyone who may be interested in becoming Catholic and if pursued, it will include the three sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation.
This process begins with a meeting with the Adult Formation Director. This meeting may be done at any time during the year. The length of the entire process, as well as the actual meeting times, will vary with each individual’s circumstances. The program includes people interested in learning more about Catholicism, as well as those who are actively seeking to become Catholic. It is a journey that our community walks together with those interested, with the purpose of welcoming participants into the life of the church community. Register at any time.
