Faith Formation

“All blessings come to us through our Lord. He will teach us, for in beholding His life

we find that He is the best example.”

- St. Teresa of Avila


Growing your Life as a Disciple of Christ


Our Faith Formation program in Parish Family 45 supports the religious education and sacramental preparation needs of all our parishioners.  Every person in our pews, every Catholic in our parish community, child or adult, is on their own journey toward Christ and a life of discipleship, and we are here to strengthen and guide you on your journey.

Our parish family Faith Formation classes, sacramental preparation, OCIA classes and catechists are supported and shared with our fellow family parishes of Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Joseph. As you enter into the course that you need, we will guide you to the right location for your sacramental preparation.

Here is an outline of what our Faith Formation programs offer:
  • Adults: Whether it is marriage, Confirmation or all three of the Sacraments of Initiation that you seek, we have seasoned leaders and supporting staff to help you reach your objective.
  • Teens: We have a Confirmation course, focused on building your strengths with the Holy Spirit.
  • Children: In our First Holy Communion course, the children are guided into the Catholic faith by our licensed tachers in the basic formation of their faith.
  • Baptism is the first of the sacraments, outwardly claiming a child to be in God's own family.
