Faith Formation Classes (Grades 1-6) – Classes begin September 18th and conclude in late April.  Catholic doctrine is taught through scripture-centered lessons and are offered on Wednesday evenings. Special emphasis is placed on putting faith into action through daily Christian living and through grade level service projects. Be committed to nurturing the faith life of students and volunteer to be a Faith Formation Catechist. A love for working with children is helpful. Requires approximately 2 hours a week each Wednesday.

Sunday School – The Sunday School program is offered to children ages three years through kindergarten. The focus is to help children learn about and share their faith through Scripture, discussions, activities, games, and prayer. Classes are held during the 9:30 a.m. Mass, beginning in October and concluding in late April.  Share your gift of working with young children by being a Sunday School Catechist. You will help provide children with a life long education essential to growing in their Christian Faith.

Vacation Bible Camp (VBC) – Each summer we invite children four years of age through grade six to participate in a week long summer faith formation program. The children experience scripture though song, drama, and art activities.  It is held the week following the end of the school year from 9:00 a.m. until noon on Monday through Friday.  Adult and teenage leaders are invited to volunteer to help make this a memorable experience. For more informatino visit our VBC page here.
