FAITH FORMATION FOR FAMILIES
“Christ entrusted man to the Church; he entrusted man to her as the 'way' of her mission and her ministry. Among these many paths, the family is the first and the most important.”
– lETTER TO THE fAMILES, pOPE JOHN PAUL II
Formation in the Catholic faith for the entire family–- parents, grandparents and children (pre-school through high school) is a unique ministry focused on providing parents with the opportunity to grow in their relationship with Christ, to gain a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith, and to become an active member of the church community so that they can nurture and transmit the faith to their children.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is offered for these age groups during the week;

Inspired by the words and witness of Saint Pope John Paul II’s heart for youth, our Catholic Youth Ministry exists to awaken in young hearts the deep conviction that “it is Jesus you seek when you dream of happiness.” Rooted in Scripture, formed by the Church’s teaching, and strengthened by authentic community, we challenge youth to embrace the demanding adventure of holiness, resist mediocrity, and take personal responsibility for their faith and mission in the world.
In the love of Jesus, Light of the World, we form young disciples who are courageous, prayerful, joyful, and unafraid to say yes to God – to live fully, love sacrificially, and give their lives in service of Christ and His Kingdom.
