Faith Formation is a lifetime journey for everyone - at every age and stage of life. Since we believe that religious formation occurs within a family and community context, our thrust, educationally, is toward helping adults become aware of their own identity as baptized Christians and members of a global community and to lead them to celebrate this identity. We see our direct formal education of children and youth as a complement to this essential responsibility of the family and community. But that is only a small part. This year we are offering more adult formation opportunities to assist you in your journey of Faith to better serve all God's people. Please look at the Family Faith Formation page for Adult Faith Formation programs.

We are always seeking and inviting "inquirers," those interested, intrigued, or perhaps just inquisitive about being Catholic. We invite you to "come and see" as we journey together toward the Easter sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. Our Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) program is available year-round. Please look at the RCIA page for more information.
