CHILDREN'S FAITH FORMATION
  
   The Faith Formation program continues the mission of Jesus through a Catechetical Ministry that embraces the total young person by striving to provide an inclusive program that responds to the spiritual, intellectual, Sacraments, social, and psychological needs of the TOTAL young person. Our youth are accompanied from pre-school through high school on their faith journey, and are exposed to the Word of God through faith sharing, Mass, instruction,  activities, and service.
