Our Faith Formation program has been developed to assist parents in the religious and spiritual development of our children.  The program includes over 1000 students and is divided in three sections: Grades 1-4 meet on Saturday mornings; Grades 5-8 meet on Monday evenings and High School meets on Sunday afternoon. A program this large always welcomes new teachers and volunteers.  Volunteer helpers are also needed during the week for a variety of clerical tasks.

Sacramental Programs:
Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist - Children in Grade 2 are invited to receive these sacraments.  The parents give instructions.  Parents must attend one session of prayer and preparation for each sacrament

Confirmation - A Confirmation candidate must have continuous and sequential religious instruction in either the Parish School or the Religious Education Program in Grades 1-8.  Our program is a full two-year program, with the Sacrament of Confirmation administered in the fall of the third year. Our program is designed to encourage our young people to participate through service and learning in order to deepen their relationship with God and the church community. The Confirmation Groups meet once a month on Sunday afternoons. Special programs are held additionally, throughout the two-year program
