The Our Faith on Fire! Faith Formation programs place great emphasis on the cultivation of true spiritual values and encourages the overall development of a Catholic Community member, which includes an outlook, understanding, and demeanor that is founded upon a faith-filled perspective and exemplified by living our Catholic Faith every day! Our goal is to help your child to develop a relationship with Christ and to know that he or she is especially loved and valued by Him. The expectation is that each child is registered for, and participates in Faith Formation classes EVERY YEAR from Grade 1 until Confirmed.
Registration for the 2024-2025 school year programs opens later this summer!
