Faith Formation

Religious Education provides faith formation and sacramental preparation for children in grades pre K-8. Classes meet Wednesdays, 6:45-8:00 pm. Additional classes for sacramental preparation on Saturday Mornings and Sunday afternoons. Catechists, teachers’ aides, and substitutes are always needed. Training and formation will be provided.

RCIA (RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS AND CHILDREN’S CATECHUMENATE) are formation programs in the Catholic faith that prepare children and adults for the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist, scriptural reflection, study of church teaching, social gatherings and service with the parish community.
