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
Formation and Mass belong together. Without Mass, we miss the living encounter with Jesus we’re forming our children to know and love; without formation, it’s harder to understand and enter the mystery we celebrate at the altar. Our hope is to partner with you—supporting your family in a prayerful, practical, and realistic way so faith can take root at home and flourish at Sunday Mass.
How It Works
- Prayer Envelopes: Students receive envelopes for Sunday Masses and Holy Days of Obligation.
- Write an Intention: Each week, children are invited to write the name of someone they’d like to pray for (family member, friend, special intention) inside the envelope. You have already paid for the formation so please no money in these envelopes.
- Place in the Offertory: Please place the envelope in the offertory during Mass.
- Community Prayer: These intentions are included in a special prayer during Sunday Mass.
Lost Your Prayer Envelope?
No problem! Please print the mini template below, write your child’s envelope number and prayer intention, and place it in the offertory during Mass.
If you don’t know your child’s envelope number, call the parish office and we’ll be happy to provide it.
Dear Jesus, today I want to pray for
