Our mission is to help children fall in love with Jesus and yearn to know Him more. Because parents are given the beautiful task to form their children in the faith, we offer to partner with them to form children as Disciples of Christ in our Catholic Faith. Our programs are designed to provide opportunities for children to learn about the four pillars of the Catechism and to apply these concepts to live out their baptismal call. Our programs also strive to provide opportunities for families to grow in their faith together and with other families in the community.
For 2024-2025, we offer three faith formation options outlined below. Scroll to the bottom of the page for a link to our registration page.
