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.


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!
