Faith Formation
Building a Christian Community through Faith Formation
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.
