The first catechists in any child’s life are the family members with whom he or she lives. What happens at home – both positive and negative – provides lessons for life. In the family, faith is shared as part of the unfolding of daily life. The home or “domestic church” provides a real place in which a child learns to understand and live his or her faith.
Our goal is to create a program of lifelong faith formation that is centered in and flows out of the events of Church life. It embraces all ages, promotes faith at home, and encourages participation in Church life.
Our Faith Formation program for youth focuses particularly on sacramental preparation for Baptism, First Penance/Reconciliation, First Communion, and Confirmation. The program takes place on Fridays and Saturdays during the Fall, Winter, and Spring. Grades 1-5 meet on Saturdays from 4:00-5:00 p.m, and Grades 6 and above meet on Fridays from 6:30-7:30 p.m.
Paul Kucharski is the Coordinator for our Religious Education program. He can be contacted at the rectory and would be happy to speak with anyone interested in the program.
