General Faith Formation and Catechesis Information
Faith Formation, historically known as CCD, Catechism, or Religious Education, is a lifelong journey of growing in relationship with Jesus Christ. This formation takes place both within the home, known as the Domestic Church, and within the broader Parish community. Through this ongoing process, we are continually invited to deepen our faith and live more fully as members of the Body of Christ.
The ultimate goal of our faith journey is union with God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Whether experienced at home or within the parish setting, Faith Formation sessions are designed to foster a personal encounter with the living God. These opportunities provide a space to respond to the Father’s loving invitation: to seek Him, to know Him, and to love Him with all our heart, soul, and strength. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us, “God... infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life” (CCC #1). Through Baptism, we become His adopted children, and He longs to dwell intimately with each of us through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Below you will find information regarding age-specific areas of Faith Formation. Our mission is to assist parents in forming intentional missionary disciples, children, teens, and adults, who desire communion with God and are prepared to live lives marked by a wholehearted “yes” to follow Jesus Christ, in and through His Church.

Important Information Regarding Sacramental Preparation
Please Note: Sacramental Preparation for First Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, and Youth Confirmation, is distinct from regular Faith Formation programming.
To participate in Sacramental Preparation, families must be registered in the parish Faith Formation program and be active members of the parish community or demonstrate a willingness to become actively involved in parish life.
Typically, a minimum of two years of Faith Formation is required prior to beginning Sacramental Preparation. This period allows children to reach the appropriate age, demonstrate readiness, and be supported by families committed to nurturing their child’s growth in the faith. Both the child's readiness and the family's active participation play a key role in determining preparedness for receiving the sacraments.
Sacramental Preparation schedules will be made available after the Faith Formation sessions begin in the fall and spring semesters.
