Onsite Faith Formation
As parents, you are stewards of God’s most wonderful gift: the life of Christ in your children. The parish programs exist to support parents in their role of forming disciples of the Lord. It is a privilege to be a part of your family’s faith development. Please take a look below at some ways to help your family grow in faith.
Faith @ Home Study
Children’s Faith @ Home Study is a program for children in grades K- 7.
The program is open to all parish families: both children who attend public schools and children who attend St. Paul the Apostle school.
Confirmation Prep
“Preparation for Confirmation should aim at leading the Christian toward a more intimate union with Christ and a more lively familiarity with the Holy Spirit – his actions, his gifts, and his biddings – in order to be more capable of assuming the apostolic responsibilities of Christian life. To this end catechesis for Confirmation should strive to awaken a sense of belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ, the universal Church as well as the parish community. The latter bears special responsibility for the preparation of confirmands.” – Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1309
Sacraments of Initiation Catechesis for Children
This program is for older children who have completed 2nd grade, but have not yet celebrated the Sacraments of Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation.
Whether your family is entering the Church, returning after a time away, or delayed your child’s sacrament preparation, or any other circumstance, all are welcome!
