Parish Faith Formation

“Ever since you were a child, you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus......so that person who serves God may be fully qualified and equipped to do every kind of good deed.”  (2 Tim 3:15-17)

This ministry touches many areas of our parish at once:  how we educate and train our younger members as well as our adults in the faith; how, through the mission of our Catholic Parish School, our young people are given a strong foundation for the future and are empowered to spread the Good News by word and action; how all baptized members of our parish are offered opportunities to deepen their faith in our beloved God; how through catechetical courses, our adults are better prepared to share the faith with the younger generations;  and  how the training in the Diocesan Lay Leadership Institute equips our leaders with the wisdom and discernment to participate more fully in their baptismal call.

 

Sacramental Preperation For Adults and Youth

Adults and youth at least 16 yrs of age seeking full initiation into the Catholic Church are invited to enter into a process of faith formation.  RCIA classes are all year round.
