Family of Faith is our ministry of faith formation for families with children. The primary way a child grows in faith is through the witness of the family in the home. The parish serves as a great and vital support system for children, teens, and parents. We seek to provide quality materials and on-campus support for each member of the family. Our desire is to help all members of the family to grow as disciples of Jesus.

Family of Faith is for all families preparing for any of the Sacraments from Baptism, Marriage, First Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation. Every area of Formation within our Family of Faith community has unique opportunities for parents to feel empowered to be the main educators of the Catholic faith for their children. Along with this, we offer support for both parents and children along the way so that everyone develops community within our parish family. 

To register for Family of Faith, complete the form below. Only one form is needed for each family and the registration fee is $225 for each family (regardless of whether your child is making sacraments or if you have more than one child participating in Family of Faith). You can use the WeShare button for payment or send cash or check with a registration form to Julie Bando in the parish office.

Contact Julie Bando or Kate Giddens with questions about our Family of Faith Ministry.

Our Family of Faith Team is hosting two identical info sessions:

• Sunday, June 1st, 10:00–10:45 am (between Masses)
• Tuesday, July 8th, 6:30–7:15 pm

Come learn how our parish supports you as the primary catechist of your children through family catechesis and youth formation. The full Family of Faith staff will be there—we’d love to meet you and walk with your family on the journey of faith.

We look forward to serving you this year and beyond!

We Want to Meet You!

The Family of Faith team is excited to get to know each family in our parish. This summer, we’re offering one-on-one meeting times to connect with you and learn how we can best support your family's journey toward Jesus and His Church.

These meetings help us better walk alongside you in faith and ensure your family feels seen, supported, and encouraged.

Please sign up for a time that works for you.

We look forward to meeting you and walking with your family—this year and beyond!
