Children’s Faith Formation

Early Childhood Program:

The Early Childhood Program on Sunday mornings (Pre-K and Kindergarten) has been reopened.

The goal of an Early Childhood Religious Education program is to introduce children to scripture and relate it to their lives with stories, prayer, music and crafts. Its activities should help build basic skills, foster self-esteem, and encourage a sense of joy and celebration. It should provide young children with a warm and welcoming experience, and build on the foundation of faith begun in the home, the Domestic Church. This helps create a positive outlook for religious formation in the years ahead.

We are so happy once again we are able to provide a program for our precious little ones!

What Is Confirmation?

For young people preparing for Confirmation ~ Christ is Alive and seeks to walk with youth in this moment.

Confirmation should be a strengthening and the start of renewed zeal for discipleship.

It should awaken our experience of Baptism and point us toward our sharing in the Eucharist.

It should strengthen us for the journey of discipleship and for active participation in the faith community.
