Programs and Activities
Faith Formation
Our Faith Formation program offers a structured curriculum designed to educate children and teenagers about the teachings of Christianity and the rich traditions of our faith. With a focus on age-appropriate content and engaging activities, we strive to make learning about God's love both meaningful and enjoyable. Through interactive lessons, group discussions, and hands-on experiences, our dedicated instructors guide participants in deepening their understanding of scripture, sacraments, prayer, and spiritual practices.
During the Faith Formation sessions, young individuals have the opportunity to explore their personal beliefs, ask questions, and cultivate a personal relationship with God. Our program aims to inspire a lifelong commitment to faith and equip our youth with a strong spiritual foundation that will guide them through various milestones of their lives.
Youth Ministry
Our Youth Ministry offers a vibrant and dynamic space for teenagers and young adults to come together, form lasting friendships, and engage in activities that promote personal growth and community building. We recognize the importance of providing a supportive community where young individuals can share their joys, challenges, and spiritual journeys with peers who understand and support them.
Through a range of engaging events, retreats, service projects, and social activities, we strive to empower our youth to live out their faith in tangible ways. Our Youth Ministry encourages active involvement in creating a positive impact on the local community and beyond.
