Faith Formation

Faith Formation of our Children

At St. Mary's our religious education focuses on the faith formation of our children in elementary school, middle school and high school. Our Sacrament preparation programs for Reconciliation and First Holy Communion as well for Confirmation are two-year preparation programs.

Classes run from September to May.

Grades K-8

We are happy to partner with you in the experience of faith formation. Your child is learning important lessons from our classes. These lessons can become even more meaningful when reinforced with daily faith that is lived each day at home, and on Sunday in family worship. We thank you for being the first, the most important, and the most excellent catechist for your child. We appreciate working with you and your child/ren in the important mission of planting seeds and growing in faith.
