R.C.I.A.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) program provides the opportunity for those interested in the Catholic Faith to learn more and to determine if they wish to become Catholic.  Catholics who have not received First Communion or Confirmation and other who simply wish to renew or return to their faith are also encouraged to join us. Please consider joining the RCIA process.  We are ready when you are.

Youth Ministry

What a crazy time to be alive in the world, and yet the Lord is raising up sons and daughters to be saints. Teens who can speak truth and witness to the person of Jesus Christ. Come encounter the person of Jesus, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the Father who says you are amazing!

Your unique unrepeatable beauty isn’t an accident. You are an arrow in God’s quiver sent to be a powerful love, spirit and light to a hurting and broken world. There is nothing more important on planet earth than your life to God. No one can do what God create you to do in the world!

Now is the time to Arise!!

Confirmation

Formation

   We are excited about our Confirmation Formation Program (CFP) for grades 6-8. While the current pandemic may make meeting in person prohibitive, our e-learning model continues to provide robust catechesis.

   Grade 6 students dive into a textbook-based curriculum combined with twice-monthly small-group instruction and fellowship that bridges our FSF Program to the Chosen Confirmation Program.

   We employ the Chosen Confirmation Program for our 7th and 8th grade Confirmation students. This web-based "head and heart" curriculum beautifully melds textbook, video, and virtual small-group discussion that is thought-provoking and leads students to a deeper understanding of their faith.

S.P.R.E.D.

Each week we gather to study scripture, rather a particular book, a series of books or bible-related topics. Sessions may last several weeks or an entire semester. Bible Study is offered on Wednesday evenings and all needed materials are offered to participants at minimal cost. 

Baptism Prep Class

The Baptism Preparation Ministry prepares parents for the baptisms of their children by reflecting upon the Sacrament of Baptism, parents' and godparents' roles after children are baptized, and the family's place in our faith community.  First-time parents are requested to attend prior to their child's baptism.  Classes are typically offered on the first Thursday of every month.
