Faith Formation for Children

Faith and Family

 “In the family, faith is handed on together with life, generation after generation. It is shared like food at the family table and like the love in our hearts. In this way, families become privileged places in which to encounter Jesus, who loves us and desires our good, always." 

Pope Leo XIV

faith is the most important Gift you can give your child

Parents want their children to "be happy" . . .

The world seems to promise happiness to children and youth if they can become an outstanding athlete, a straight A student or uncommonly beautiful. Nothing is wrong with striving to be your best self, but internal peace and lasting happiness occur when you have a sincere belief in God, know that He always loves you and strive to live by His teachings. When you're "good with God", you're good inside. In a community that seeks to give their child every advantage possible, it's surprising how many parents overlook this powerful gift. 


Congratulations on seeking to grow your child's faith!

All of our religious education and sacramental preparation programs are based on the teachings of the  Bible and the Catechism of the Catholic church. 

 It's not too late to join our program. To read more about our classes, click here.
