"Ministry with adolescents recognizes that the family has the primary responsibility for the faith formation of young people and that the parish and Catholic school share in it. The home is a primary context for sharing, celebrating, and living the Catholic faith, and we are partners with parents in developing the faith life of their adolescent children. The Church can contribute significantly toward strong, life-shaping families for young people."

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to the Pre-K Faith Formation Ministry! Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to provide your child with experiences that will open their hearts and minds to the love and knowledge of God/Jesus. Our ministry will also encourage active participation in the life of the parish community.
Our 2024-2025 registration is open! We have in-person and home-study options. The registration cost covers weekly Pflaum Gospel Weeklies handouts, coloring activity pages, and craft materials. The Faith Formation year will begin September 15, 2024 until April 27, 2025. The children will learn about our Catholic faith, sacraments, liturgical rituals, symbols, seasons, morals, standards, values, and how to pray. The children will be given the words and tools they need to talk about God. Our program is Christ-centered, child-focused, and utilizes multi-sensory learning. Families will have access to both paper and online materials each week of Gospel based lessons, a Catechism handbook, activity pages, and music.
The support of our parents and teachers in this most precious ministry to our youngest children of the parish is of the utmost importance. All of our volunteers 18 and older have completed the Archdiocesan Safe Environment training with background screening. In this ministry, the children are formally introduced to God/Jesus and His wonderful gifts. Please call us with any question or comments you may have.
