Faith Formation
Faith is more than simply learning about God. It is about putting this knowledge into action. But a sound education on faith definitely gives a great head start.
“Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children.” (CCC 2223)
We recognize that this is an overwhelming responsibility and, as a universal church, we offer courses to help your children grow in the formation of their faith. You may be accustomed to hearing about these courses for Sacramental Preparation, but they are so much more than that and are offered for every age group, from Pre-Kindergarten to Adulthood.
Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, as indeed you do. - Thessalonians 5:11 (NABRE)
As the saying goes, “it takes a village” to get to heaven. Let us be your village. Registration for the 2024-2025 school year is open from April 15, 2024 through August 11, 2024.
Are you ready to register? Great! Select the button below to register your children (or yourself) for courses.

Sacramental Preparation
What a gift to be able to celebrate the sacraments! Through Christ’s example and sending, we obey His holy will and allow him to work through us. Each Sacrament confers a grace that fills us with the Holy Spirit and works in us and through us.
“Celebrated worthily in faith, the sacraments confer the grace that they signify. They are efficacious because in them Christ himself is at work: it is he who baptizes, he who acts in his sacraments in order to communicate the grace that each sacrament signifies. The Father always hears the prayer of his Son's Church which, in the epiclesis of each sacrament, expresses her faith in the power of the Spirit. As fire transforms into itself everything it touches, so the Holy Spirit transforms into the divine life whatever is subjected to his power.” (CCC 1127)
