The mission of our Faith Formation program is to provide empowerment and resources to the
families of our faith community toward the goal of forming the next generation of strong
Catholic Christians.

Parents are the first and most important teachers of the Faith…
Saint John Paul II – Familiaris Consortio (1981) paraphrased

The sacrament of First Communion will be celebrated May 4/5 at all Masses. A reception for the children, their families and guests will follow each Mass in the parish hall.

The children in the Special Sacrament Preparation sessions will celebrate their 1st Communion Saturday, May 18th at the 4:00pm Mass. A reception for the children, their family and guests will take place following Mass in the parish hall.

On Mother's Day, May 12th, all first communicants are invited to attend the 9:00am Mass. Following Mass, they will process outside with Fr. Arturo and crown the statur of Mary. The children are encouraged to wear their special First Communion outfits. Following the crowning-all are invited to the free Mother's Day pancake breakfast in the parish hall. 

FOR PARENTS:

THERE IS NO CURBSIDE DROP-OFF or PICK-UP EVER. It is a major safety concern. Please bring your children into the parish hall where they will gather with their catechist. Parents/guardians will sign out their child(ren) from their classroom.

ONLINE OPTION
For families with extraordinary circumstances that would prevent successful participation in our classroom setting, SEAS also offers a parent-led option that can be completed at home. If you would like to participate in the online option, please contact the parish office for more information.

Interested in becoming more involved?  We can always use volunteers throughout the year!  Contact Kevin if you are interested in being a catechist, a substitute, a hall monitor, a chaperone, or assisting with special projects/events.  Safe Environment training and a background check is required for all volunteers who work with children or youth.
