The Formation and Catechesis of all Catholics is a very important and serious duty. We strive to help all of our parishioners in increasing their knowledge of the Catholic Faith in order to more fully live it. We assist especially in the preparation of all who will receive the Sacraments of Baptism, First Holy Communion, Confirmation and Marriage. Opportunities are provided for on-going catechesis and education within the life of the parish through Parish Missions, Adult Education Classes, etc.
Catechetical Program
Our young people receive instructions in the Catholic Faith through the CCD program. Those in 1st through 9th grades meet (from September through March) on every other Sunday morning from 9:00 am to 10:20 am, followed by Holy Mass at 10:30 am. All must register in the parish office.

R.C.I.A. (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults)
- R.C.I.A. is the ancient tradition of the Church where individuals are led into the adult life of the Church through the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and the Most Holy Eucharist.
- Education and spiritual formation occurs through participation at Mass as well as in small group meetings.
- R.C.I.A. addresses the needs of adults (Catholic and non-Catholic) who are interested in a deeper relationship with God, Jesus and the Catholic Church.
- R.C.I.A. provides an opportunity for adult catechesis for those already fully initiated Catholics who want to know more about their faith.
- Classes are held every other Sunday Morning at 9 a.m. beginning in September until the completion of the program the following Easter.
