Class offerings
Class offerings have changed for this year. Due to Covid-19 we will begin instruction without children coming to the parish campus. Instead, parents, grandparents or guardians are invited to join us 1 time a month for instruction to take home. The scheduled for these classes will be found on the calendars once they are published. Please stay tuned for informaiotn that is specific to the grade of your child(ren) and the language that is spoken at home. Your patience is appreciated.

More about our Faith Formation philosophy
Our parish program of faith formation is designed to support and nurture the faith life of each family. As Catholics, we know that, “parents are the first and foremost educators of their children [who] educate or catechize informally, but powerfully by example and instruction.”
On these pages, you will find specific information for classes aimed at children and youth. To learn more about adult opportunites, please move to the Adult Formation pages.
_____________________________________________________________________________* Reminder: All are encouraged to have our children receive complete faith instruction from 1st through 8th grades.

Who We ServeFamily Faith Formation
The Religious Education department serves children in first grade through eighth grade, as well as high school students preparing for Sacraments.
Our focus is meant to offer opportunities for families to share and grow in their faith together. At a minimum, parents are asked to attend meetings and social/formational events, in addition to participating in parish life with their children through Mass, prayers, and family events.
Experience has taught us that faith formation programs succeed best where faith is a vital part of the life of the family and larger faith community. Our Family Faith Formation Program warmly embraces parents as the first and formost educators in their child's religious formation. It is designed to support families of children enrolled in our religious education ministries to meaningfully accompany them on their own faith journey. Along the way, parents are invted to discover the meaning and presence of God's activity in their own lives. -
