Faith Formation Welcome

Faith Formation is life-long and year-round. We work with the pastor and other parish ministries to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ alive in our community, in our homes and within our hearts.

Saint Catherine and Saint Sebastian Parishes offer a variety of choices for families interested in forming their children and teens to be taught the beliefs and traditions of our Catholic faith. Families may choose to participate in any program, at either parish, whether or not it is your “home” parish.

Child Faith Formation is for grades k4-8 at St. Sebastian, in the school classrooms, from 9:00 to 10:15am. These classes occur about twice a month on Sunday mornings. This program offers scripture-centered catechetical education, prayer and service.

The fee for Faith Formation is $75. You will be prompted to pay this fee when registering your child(ren). We do not want any family, who is unable to pay the fee, not to register. Please speak with Father Peter Patrick or any member of the formation team, if your family needs options regarding the fee.

Welcoming a Child? Are you expecting a child through birth or adoption?  Has a child recently entered your life?  We ask parents to bring their children into the community through Baptism.  Before celebrating Baptism, we ask that your family be registered in the parish and that you complete a Baptism Preparation Class. Baptism class is offered when needed.  Please contact Deacon Ralph at 445-5115, extension 201.
