For starters, REGISTER for 2026-27 Faith Formation
Learn about and participate in our faith through weekly Faith Formation classes at The Church of St. Mary. In addition to class time, students will hear great Catholic speakers on a host of topics, participate in various volunteer projects with non-profits in the area, and participate in the Sacraments of the Eucharist, Confession, and eventually Confirmation. All this, while having fun too. Parents are encouraged to participate in their child's faith, but on several nights during the faith formation year, you are welcome to join us for special family nights.
