Family Faith Formation and Sacraments:
Our Family Faith Formation program is designed for families with children in grades K-5. This is a two part program. Children complete weekly lessons at home with their family, then, on the second Saturday of each month following the 4:00 p.m. Mass, all families gather together with Father Bernard to share a meal and discuss what they have learned. This format strengthens both the family’s practice of faith in the home while connecting each family within the greater parish community.

The necessary preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion are incorporated into the Family Faith Formation program. The two year preparations begins in first grade.

 

RCIA and Classes for the Sacrament of Confirmation:
Our RCIA program and Confirmation classes are combined and intended for students in 8th grade and above and for adults wishing to receive the Sacraments of Initiation.
