Our goal is to provide the youth in our parish a comprehensive Religious Education program that teaches the faith and traditions of the Catholic Church, and fosters a personal relationship with God. Sunday Mass is an INTEGRAL component of our program. Every Faith Formation lesson builds upon the experience of actively and fully participating in Sunday Mass every week. Weekly Sign In is required after weekend Masses in Room 110.

Classes start the week of September 21st with a mandatory parent meeting in the Church.

Registration Is Now Closed for the 2026-2027 year.
