Children and Youth Formation
“Dear young people, like the first disciples, follow Jesus! Do not be afraid to draw near to Him, to cross the threshold of his dwelling, to speak with Him, face to face, as you talk with a friend. Do not be afraid of the new life He is offering.”
– Pope Saint John Paul II
Our children and youth faith formation programs aid parents in raising their children in the Catholic faith by providing a space for them to know, love, and serve God and His Church. Our Pre-Kindergarten through 12th Grade Religious Education and Sacramental Preparation program is designed to aid parents in forming their children into fully initiated Catholics who love God and the Catholic Church, desire to become saints, and are capable of sharing the Gospel with every person they encounter. We have a religious education program and a two year sacramental preparation program, which gradually introduces the youth to the richness of our Catholic Faith. Over the course of their formation, students learn about the Trinity, Salvation History, the Creed, the Liturgy, the Sacraments, the 10 Commandments, Virtue, the Saints, Prayer, and Lectio Divina.
