“He gives power to the faint, abundant strength to the weak. Though young men faint and grow weary, and youths stagger and fall, they that hope in the LORD will renew their strength, they will soar on eagles’ wings; they will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.”
Isaiah 40: 29-31

The Faith Formation process for middle school, 6th through 8th Grade, focuses on community building and reinforcing the Catechetical foundation built in the lower elementary grades. Growth in the young person’s faith is strengthened with an emphasis on the Bible, Catholic teaching, and connecting our Catholic traditions to daily life. This ministry also facilitates the transition into the high school programs and continued parish involvement.

We want to welcome you to both the faith formation program and to our parish family. Visit our parish registration page to register.

Weekly Mass:

It is expected that parents and children will celebrate weekly Mass together. Attendance at Mass is an integral and essential part of the formation of each child’s faith.

Children are expected to be on time and consistent with attendance. Tardiness is disruptive, disrespectful to the teacher (Catechist), and the other students.
