 Welcome to Children
and Youth Faith Formation!
Parents are the primary educators of the faith to their children. At the parish level, children begin to study and experience their faith during early childhood. As a young person moves through grade school, middle school, high school, and into young adulthood, they are challenged to embrace the Catholic faith via parish programs and most specifically through their on-going participation at Mass.
The goal of this office is to provide vision, encouragement and support to parish efforts that will foster this growth. We strive to assist parish leadership, as they examine, evaluate, and develop faith formation programs for children and youth.
Workshops and various updates are made available for parish Catechetical Leaders and Catechists. Formation is ongoing, as we move together in the task of forming children and youth in the Catholic faith.
If I can be of assistance, or if you have a particular question or concern, please contact me.
