Our Vision
Our program offers four pathways, all centered on the Eucharist, with Sunday Mass as the foundation of our faith and formation.
As parents, you are your child’s first and most important teacher in the faith, a role that was acknowledged at their Sacrament of Baptism.
We are here to support you in this sacred responsibility.
We also invite you and your family to join us during Wednesday evening formation for Adoration, Confession, and Benediction
— a beautiful opportunity to pray together as a parish.

Mass Attendance
Students will receive prayer envelopes for Sunday Masses and Holy Days of Obligation to help foster accountability and a deeper connection to the Mass.
Inside the envelope, children are encouraged to write a name of someone they’d like to pray for that week. These intentions will be included in a special prayer during the Sunday Mass.
