WELCOME FAITH FORMATION FAMILIES

Our Faith Formation Office is excited to offer many options for the upcoming, 2021-2022 ministry year. Each program is Christ centered ministry where family is key. At St. Mary we work hard to honor what we are taught by the Catholic Church (see CCC 2226).

All of our classes will be held in-person here on the parish campus. *Please check specific ministry page for 2021-2022 calendars.

VIRTUAL OPTION: If your child will not be attending school in person and would need a virtual option for Faith Formation, there is a box to check to indicate that on the registration form. The virtual option will only be made available if there is enough interest and need, provided we have volunteers and staff to cover the various age groups.
