welcome

Welcome to the Faith Formation page. We share a love of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are broken, but redeemed, and we love our Redeemer! We strive to live out that love in His family, His Body, the One, Holy, Catholic & Apostolic Roman Catholic Church! We are loyal to our leaders in faith: Pope Francis, Bishop Frank Dewane, and their representatives in our parish. We share Christian fellowship in a community of believers. We seek truth from the Holy Scriptures, time-honored traditions of faith, and the teaching of the Magisterium. We strive to live stewardship as a way of life in gratitude for all God has given us, and to serve Christ in the Church and the community. We try to be the Heart and Hands of Christ! JOIN US!
