• Continuing Faith Formation: Ongoing religious education for children who have already received First Communion, encouraging continued growth in faith and preparation for future sacraments.
• Confirmation Preparation: A two-year program for high school students that emphasizes Catholic teachings, prayer, service, spiritual growth, and preparation for Confirmation.
• Hearts of Grace: An inclusive program for children with special needs and their families, offering individualized faith formation and sacramental preparation.

Your journey of faith does not end after receiving the sacraments.

We welcome adults at every stage of their spiritual journey, whether they are discovering Catholicism for the first time, returning to the Church, preparing to receive sacraments, or simply wishing to deepen their relationship with Christ.

OCIA – Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (Fall: Sept-May)

OCIA is a journey of faith for adults who:

• Have never been baptized and wish to become Catholic.
• Were baptized in another Christian tradition and desire to enter the Catholic Church.
• Were baptized Catholic but have not received First Communion or Confirmation.
• Wish to learn more about the Catholic faith.

Participants explore Scripture, Catholic teachings, prayer, the sacraments, and the life of the Church while receiving guidance and support from our parish community.

Visit our Become Catholic Tab for more information. 

Adult Confirmation (Fall and Spring)

Our Adult Confirmation program is designed for baptized Catholic adults, ages 18 and older, who have not yet received the Sacrament of Confirmation.

Adults who have not received their First Holy Communion are also welcome to inquire about participating in this program.

Through prayer, Scripture, and Catholic teachings, participants will deepen their relationship with Christ and prepare to receive the sacraments.

Visit the Confirmation tab for more information.

Every faith journey is unique. If you have questions about sacramental preparation, class placement, registration, or your family's faith formation needs, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with the Director of Faith Formation.
