As your Pastor, I want to encourage all parents and guardians to also make plans for your children’s ongoing faith formation, as our own programs commence in just a couple of weeks. Your parish stands ready to help you in fulfilling this pledge. Over the summer, both Susan Olsen (Director of Catechetical Ministry) and Chris Mardesich (Director of Youth Ministry) have been hard at work preparing for this new year of learning and living our Catholic faith. We have programs for children in pre-school through high school. Our vision of faith formation is structured to engage children and youth in a process that is engaging, challenging, and fun.
