2026-2027 Updates
Sundays: 9:15-10:15 AM
Bi-Monthly Family Faith Formation classroom sessions for grades Pre-K through Grade 5, with a session for parents in the parish hall at the same time, are offered to allow families to attend the 10:30 Mass together after the sessions. Parents may elect to attend the 4pm Saturday or 7:30am or Noon Sunday Masses if they prefer. Sunday morning class sizes are limited. Early registration is recommended.
Sunday Family Faith Formation: Classes take place in a traditional classroom setting with children's grade level peers. Volunteer Catechists will lead the class in breaking open the weeks Gospel and enhancing their understanding of the Catholic faith through related doctrine based activities. Parents will have presentations that support their role as models of faith for their children and encourage their own growth and understanding as disciples of Jesus Christ. A team of clergy and staff will be present to the families each week. Children with special needs are welcome.
Our Ministry: Our deepest passion is the love for children and passing on our Catholic faith. We are dedicated to the children and the families we serve, their openness to God and their unique diversity. We want each student to develop a deep, knowledgeable, loving and personal relationship with their Savior, Jesus Christ that lasts a lifetime.
Our Curriculum: Our program affirms the role of the parent/ guardian (as well as extended family members) as children’s primary and most important teachers. Our aim is to nurture the formation that is begun in the home by proclaiming God’s Word; incarnated in Jesus Christ, and growing through service to others. We do this through teaching basic beliefs and traditions of our faith that come from the Gospel messages each week at Mass.
The most important thing we can do is to gather as a parish family to give praise and thanks to God through liturgical worship by attending Mass every week.
Important: For students preparing for First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion, an additional registration is required for preparation for these sacraments in addition to the Sunday Family Faith Formation Classes or Family Home Ministry, or be attending a Catholic school. (Documentation verifying their Catholic school enrollment will be required).
