YOUTH AND FAITH FORMATION PROGRAMS
We honor God by passing on our faith to the next generation, teaching them the power of love, mercy, forgiveness and sacrifice. Solid faith formation programs provide lifelong, meaningful faith experiences that enrich our families, Church and communities.
ENGAGING FAMILIES IN LIFELONG FAITH FORMATION
MINISTRY DURING THE PANDEMIC
The weekly diocesan TV Mass continues to keep homebound parishioners connected to their faith. The Church also has engaged in new and creative forms of ministry during the last year to meet the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. This included a three-day “virtual” Stewardship Week event, launch of an online faith formation resource for families, and a three-part webinar series focused on the Eucharist. An online men’s conference is also planned.
