Faith Formation

Home / Parish Life / Faith Formation

Our Formation never ends.

We take very seriously our duty to educate ourselves and our children in the tenants of the faith and the doctrines of the church. To this end, classes and lectures and groups for all ages are available. Please explore the offerings and let us know if you would like to get involved! Some classes require registration, but many events are open to all. Please contact Mike Tober, Director of Religious Education if you are interested in Faith Formation or Sacrament Preparation for yourself or your children.
