What does Adult Faith Formation include?
Education- bible studies, guest speakers, parenting classes, parish mission, and more.
Nurturing a family of faith is not a spectator sport. We recognize the calling of parents as primary educators and role models to their children. We partner with and support parents to help them engage their families to learn and share their faith.

Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Holy Spirit, and the door through which we enter in order to receive the other Sacraments. Infant baptism (up to and including 6 years of age) is generally celebrated on the 2nd and 4th Sundays each month. Both parents and at least one godparent must attend a Baptism preparation class prior to a child's baptism.

The Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA) is a process for adults and youth who desire to grow in their relationship with God through the Catholic faith. This ministry is primarily for those who are unbaptized and/or those who have been baptized but have NOT received the Sacraments of Communion and Confirmation. RCIA typically is a 2-year process.
