Faith Formation
Catholic faith formation enables us to learn about our faith and grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ. It is a lifelong process, beginning in childhood and extending into adulthood. Programs embrace the Scriptures and attempt to integrate faith into our everyday lives, with the result that we will become witnesses of God's love to the world.
Youth
​
Faith education is available to our young people from kindergarten age to high school.
Elementary grades (K–5) and Middle Schoolers (6–8) meet between the masses on Sunday mornings, from 9:15 am to 10:15 am. Curricula are lectionary-based, reinforcing the Sunday readings.
Classes are held from October through April.​ Classes for the 2024–2025 school year began at 9:15am on Sunday, October 6 for grades K–8.
Confirmation preparation begins for most students when they reach 9th grade. Instruction begins in the fall and continues to the following autumn. Classes are held on Sunday evenings from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. The Confirmation 2025 class began their preparation on October 6, 2024, at the 10:30am Mass when the students signed a book of intent to be confirmed. The first class (with parents) was held that afternoon at 4:30pm.
The 2024 Confirmation class received the sacrament on Sunday, November 24, 2024, at the 10:30am Mass at Christ the King Church.
Vacation Bible School is a one-week morning camp for children ages 5 to 10, held during early August. The Bible-themed camp includes activities, games, arts & crafts, singing, and more.
