Faith Formation Program (Sunday School)
The Faith Formation program is designed to assist parents in the formal training of their children ages 4 through grade 5 in the Catholic faith. In keeping with Diocesan guidelines, we guide our children to grow spiritually closer to God, through study, prayer, and worship. Preparation for the Sacraments of 1st Holy Communion and Reconciliation fall into this ministry. We always are looking for teachers and assistants.* Director of Religious Education: Patty Evans

Youth Ministry Programs
LIFETEEN (High School)
As a parish, we use Lifeteen resources. Lifeteen is an international Catholic movement that serves the Church by providing resources and faith experiences that help lead teens closer to Christ. At our parish, the youth minister and CORE Team of adults build an environment where teens feel loved, accepted, and compelled. Through the Mass and our community, high school teens learn more about their rich Catholic faith and grow to love the Sacraments, the Word, and the Liturgy. Our goal is to walk with youth on their journey with Christ.
Lifeteen (our high school youth ministry program) is open to all students in grades 9-12. Meetings are held Sunday afternoons following the 10:30 am Mass from 11:45 a.m.-2:00 pm in the Red Brick Building (Youth Building). Throughout the school year, we also host and attend a variety of events from social gatherings to youth retreats! See our weekly bulletin and social media pages for more information on upcoming events!
EDGE (Middle School)
EDGE is open to all students in grades 6-8. Through dynamic catechesis and small group mentoring, we lead our teens into a deeper relationship with Christ and His Church. As with Life Teen, Edge is Christ-centered. EDGE is held currently combined with our High School Youth Group and meets with them in the Red Brick Building (Youth Building). Throughout the school year, we also host and attend a variety of events from social gatherings to youth retreats! See our weekly bulletin and social media pages for more information on upcoming events!
