Faith Formation
2025-2026
The parish faith formation program seeks to aid parents in the most important work of forming their children to know, love, and serve God, within the greater context of a vibrant parish life, through communal celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, catechesis in faith formation classes, parish feasts, parties, and more!
Our catechist-led courses utilize curricula, methodologies, and resources faithful to the teachings of the Church and are designed to help your children encounter the light of Truth, in the person of Jesus Christ, as revealed by God in Sacred Scripture and long-standing Tradition.
Grades 1-5
We will continue to offer the Faith and Life Series materials through Ignatius Press, as well as incorporating the “Virtues in Practice” program of the Dominican Sisters of Saint Cecelia, a Mass unit study for our First Holy Communion students with Into the Deep, and elements of “Catechesis of the Good Shepherd” for our youngest students.
Middle Schoolers Grades 6-7
Journeying towards the Sacrament of Confirmation will study, in sixth grade, Encounter by Ascension Press and the NABRE Breakthrough Bible. Lessons will help students understand their own place in the story of Salvation History and are adapted from John Bergsma’s Bible Basics for Catholics. In seventh, they will follow Ascension Press’ comprehensive and engaging Chosen program that seeks to teach the faith in order to live it out more fully.
All parents, godparents, sponsors and everyone else, are welcome to join us for informal catechesis on “Spirit Sundays,” generally the first Sunday of the month. During “Coffee and Donuts,” those in attendance will enjoy a short presentation on basics of the faith, such as why bother to believe anything at all, along with the friendly company of fellow parishioners.
