Faith Formation

Registration for Children’s Faith Formation for Grade 1 through Grade 6 is NOW OPEN! Our annual sessions from October to May include a two-year preparation for First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. We also welcome children over the age of seven who have not yet been baptized to participate in the Rite of Christian Initiation adapted for Children.

To register, please complete each of the following forms and return them to the parish office. You can also complete your payment through the office as well. Considering all current family expenses and financial demands, there is no change to our prior year’s fee of $115.00 per new child plus $60.00 per additional sibling or $60.00 for children who are returning.
