Core Principles
Love God - Using the Loyola Press Finding God curriculum, our classes engage students' hearts, minds, and souls as they come to grow in a relationship with God.
Serve others - Integrating Catholic teaching into daily life means living as disciples who seek to serve. Families will have the opportunity to participate in service throughout the year.
Be yourself - Children will be given the tools for prayer to uncover who they are called to be as a child of God.
Children’s Faith Formation is for children between the ages of 6 and 15 who would like to learn more about their Catholic faith and/or prepare for their sacraments. Volunteer catechists accompany our youth during preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation.
