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 is now CLOSED.
Empowering God's Children, required by the Diocese for all of our Faith Formation students, is designed to help parents and families learn how to protect children against sexual and physical abuse and is a way to help parents introduce the concepts of personal safety, boundaries, and more - all in age-appropriate ways. We partner with you to ensure that your children are empowered to live as God intended - in safe, loving, and protected environments.
We will reach out to you about this requirement each year, but you are free to explore on your own.
