It is difficult for us to love those we do not know. That is why, in order to know our faith, it is indispensable to begin our formation from childhood. Our formation programs not only prepare us to receive a Sacrament,
but also further our understanding of our faith.
We use the following materials:
Religious Education – Venture (Pflaum Publication)
Confirmation 1 – Chosen (Blue) (Ascension Press)
Confirmation 2 – Chosen (Red) (Ascension Press)
We use the Old and New Testaments in our classes to allow students to grow in their relationship with Jesus and their faith.
We expect our parents to attend a separate parent faith formation class at the same time as their children every Sunday (English) and Monday (Spanish). These classes are designed to revisit your faith as a means to better address your children's questions about faith at home. This class is different from the sacrament family class.
