It’s that time of year again! It’s time to register for Faith Formation/Youth Ministry for the upcoming school year. We are offering classes from kindergarten through high school.
All classes meet on Sunday mornings from 9:45 –10:45 am beginning on September 7th. Grades K-5 will meet in the lower school and middle school/high school grades (Youth Ministry 6 - Confirmation) will meet in the Tileston building.
Registration available:
Faith Formation K-5 Registration

Faith Formation High School Registration
Registration fee is $50.00 per child (no more than $150 per family). No one is ever denied Faith Formation due to financial concerns: Please make your payment here.
Upon registering, please have a copy of your child’s baptism certificate handy, because you will be asked to fill in your child’s baptism information when registering. If you do not have a copy of your child’s baptism certificate, please contact the parish where he/she was baptized. If your child is not baptized, please write “N/A” where it asks for baptismal information.

This process is for those interested in joining the Catholic Church; a journey with others during the Liturgical Year entering the Church with the Sacraments on Holy Saturday. A team approach, volunteers are welcome.

Facilitate faith formation for adults within the parish to include Diocesan approved Catechetical Institute courses, as well as other USCCB approved programs.
ENGLISH SPEAKING BAPTISM PREPARATION
Baptism preparation involves counseling individuals who wish to receive the Sacrament of Baptism for themselves or their child/children and determining the appropriate course of action.
The Baptism preparation coordinator facilitates classes and schedules baptisms for parents who wish to have their child/children under the age of 7 baptized. The Baptism preparation class consists of a brief video, discussion about the Rite of Baptism in the Catholic Church, what the family can expect on the day of Baptism, and completion of the Baptism register paperwork.
MARRIAGE PREPARATION
The purpose of this ministry is to meet with engaged couples to help them interpret their Fully Engaged Pre-Marital Inventory Results.
