Growing in Faith Groups
«This is good and pleasing to God our savior, who wills everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.»
1 Timothy 2:4
Find your growing in faith group!
It is difficult for us to love those we do not know. That is why, in order to know our faith, it is indispensable to begin our formation from childhood. Our formation programs not only prepare us to receive a Sacrament, but also further our understanding of our faith.
NEXT GENERATION: kids, teens and youngs
Our Mission
To provide our students the foundation of our faith, the Catholic Tradition, and Social Justice
We use the following materials:
-
Religious Education – Venture (Pflaum Publication)
-
Confirmation 1 – Chosen (Blue) (Ascension Press)
-
Confirmation 2 – Chosen (Red) (Ascension Press)
We use the Old and New Testaments in our classes to allow students to grow in their relationship with Jesus and their faith.
​
​
Parents & Children
We expect our parents to attend a separate parent faith formation class at the same time as their children every Sunday (English) and Monday (Spanish). These classes are designed to revisit your faith as a means to better address your children's questions about faith at home. This class is different from the sacrament family class.
Catechesis for children from Pre-K to High School: Provides continuing faith education, preparation to receive the sacraments, and opportunities for students with special needs to grow in their faith. RCIC (Rite of Christian Initiation of Children) is also offered for children older than 7 years of age who are not yet baptized.
EDGE: A middle school youth ministry where youth come into a relationship with God through spiritual, educational, emotional, and social experiences.
LIFE TEEN: Provides high schoolers with a solid Catholic community where they can get answers to their questions and experience Jesus in a profound and personal way.
