Faith Formation helps our children to grow in their relationship with God. This program is available to children in preschool through 8th Grade.

The Sacrament of First Communion unites us to Christ through the Holy Eucharist. First Communion is a two-year program. Preparation may begin in the 2nd grade.

Confirmation is the final stage of initiation into the Church. Confirmation is a two-year High School program. Preparation may begin in the 9th grade.

RCIA Adults – The way adults (18 and older) become Catholic is called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, or RCIA. RCIA is a gradual process that takes place within the community of the faithful.
