Age 4 through 5th Grade Faith Formation
Elementary Faith Formation
Our goal for Elementary Faith Formation is not just to educate the minds of our young people, but to truly set their hearts ablaze through the Holy Spirit. Together, we seek to educate the mind, the heart, and the spirit in developmentally-appropriate ways that facilitate an encounter with God and plant seeds for lifelong discipleship. This foundation is then built upon as the children move into Confirmation Preparation.
Children’s Faith Formation classes will begin in September 14, 2025, and will be held in the parish hall on Sundays, 11:15am – 12:15 pm. A health snack will be provided.
Catechists Needed!
