Faith Formation Activities

Catechumenate (RCIA)
Our RCIA Team provides a process for preparing adults for entrance into the Catholic Church.

Baptismal Preparation
The pastor meets with the parents of children being Baptized.  Sessions are held as needed.

Sunday School Faith Formation - These faith formation sessions are for children in grades Pre-K and K and will be held on Sunday during the 10:30 Mass. Parents are invited to bring their children to a classroom prior to Mass where the children will read Bible stories, do some fun activities and begin learning their prayers.
