2019-2020 Registration for
Lifelong Faith Formation
Our registration fee will not increase this year

 
Dear Parents,
 
We are writing to you to introduce you to a new method of Faith Formation in our parish that will begin this summer and fall.  After a great deal of study and reflection on the direction we are seeing throughout the country with respect to passing on our faith and religion to our children, we are embarking on what can be best described as ON-GOING FAMILY FAITH FORMATION.   
 
Learning about God is a life-time process and it involves a continual turning toward to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The Catholic journey towards God is not a solitary one---we live and move as a community of faith---as the People of God---His Church. It all begins in the home “The Domestic Church” and extends into our church community each week at worship and beyond.     The mission of our entire parish Christian Formation programs are to partner with parents to assist them with their child/ren to become committed Disciples of Jesus Christ.
 

And so, we ask parents to register for one of the following OPTIONS for:
