Child Formation Programs

St. Sebastian and St. Catherine offer a variety of choices for families interested in helping children and teens become faith-filled people. Our leaders work with the pastor and other parish ministries to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ alive in the community, in our homes, and within our hearts. The teachers – catechists – strive to be attentive to the needs and concerns of the children while remaining faithful to the Gospel challenge to proclaim the Kingdom on earth. Families may choose to participate in any program in either parish whether or not it is your “home” parish.
