Our youth faith formation team is here to help you foster faith in your child’s life. We offer programs from Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8.
Sacramental Celebration Years
Grade 2 – The Sacrament of Reconciliation
Grade 3 – The Sacrament of the Eucharist
Grade 7 & 8 – The Sacrament of Confirmation (2 year preparation program)
*If a child would like to celebrate one of the Sacraments of Initiation (Reconciliation, Eucharist, Confirmation) at a later grade, our team will work individually with your family to do the preparation.
Meet the Team
Our team of dedicated faith formation staff is on board to help guide, teach, and pave the path for your children to experience the higher power of God’s love. Parent and guardian support is important in this lifelong journey of faith by supporting the catechists (teachers), making sure students attend every class, and also attend church on a regular basis.
