Grades K-2 Faith Formation
Grade 2 includes First Reconciliation/Communion Prep
Grades 3-5 Faith Formation
Grades 6-8 Confirmation Prep
Grades 7-12 Teen Study/Activity Group
NEW! Our goal for this class is to provide a group for our post-Confirmation teens where they can further their religious education experience in a fun and meaningful way. We want to help our teens grow their faith in an engaging way, and so they will also be asked for ideas and topics that they would like the group to explore.
Adult Class with Father Bill & Deacon Jon
NEW! This will be a time for discussion about the Gospel reading and/or the Homily from that day. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and dig deeper into the Gospel message. No registration is required for this class – please just come when you can!
Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)
This is a 16-week class designed for adults wishing to become members of the Catholic Church.
