Faith Formation

The Lord is always inviting us to grow in our relationship with him.  Mary, the Mother of God, helps us to grow close to her son in the Sacramental life of the Church.  Our Parish has faith formation opportunities for every child and adult parishioner.  Below is an outline of what is available for the children/youth of our parish.  If you have questions, or your family has unique needs, do not hesitate to contact the the Parish Office or email Lisa Schmidt, Director of Evangelization and Faith Formation: lisa@staparish.net.
