Faith Formation for Children in grades 1 – 6, Middle and High School
If you have a child in grades 1 – 6 and are interested in Tuesday Weekly Faith Formation classes, we still have room in our class from 6 – 7 p.m. We also have a Family Faith Formation hybrid program for all grades. If you have a child who needs to prepare for sacraments or would simply like to keep learning about their Catholic faith in a community of children from our parish, contact Marti Salas in the parish office for more information and to register.
