Saint Mary and Saint Michael parishes offer Faith Formation to students in Grades 1 through 8, with HiS Youth Nights offered to all High School students. Registered members of another parish are welcome to enroll a child in our Faith Formation Program. We will share this information with your home parish.
The goal of Faith Formation at our parishes is to assist parents in embracing their role as the primary educators in forming their children’s Catholic faith. Faith formation does not just happen in the classroom, it also takes place at home, and through participation in the life of the parish. Families support and enhance their child(rens) classroom instruction and faith formation through their weekly attendance at Sunday Mass, by the reception of the sacraments of Confession and Communion, and through prayer at home.
According to the Diocesan Office of Child and Youth Protection, our parishes use the VIRTUS Safe Environment Program. Together we coordinate the training for all the Catechists/Faith Formation and other volunteers who may come in contact with your child or children, on recognizing and reporting child abuse and neglect. A background check is also conducted, as required clearance of all volunteers working with our children.
