Family Faith Formation (FFF)

Thank you for your interest in our Family Faith Formation Program! For this year's program we are involving the entire family. A parent is required to attend each session with their youth. All ages are welcome, K-8 grades will have specified catechesis. 


There are two options for FFF. You must pick one, you cannot mix and match depending on the week. For example, if you register for the morning option then that is the one you will attend all year. 


Registration for 2025-2026 will open in April.

SPRED, or Special Religious Education for elementary age children with developmental disabilities. The Catechist in this class has a degree in Special Education & also uses prayer experiences, music, crafts and specialized learning techniques to enhance the faith formation and sacramental preparation of elementary age children with special needs.
