What do we mean when we talk about Faith Formation?

Some people think we are talking about CCD, but Faith Formation is so much more than that!

Faith Formation is a life-long process that starts with our Baptism and continues throughout our lives.

When parents have their children baptized into the Catholic faith they ask the Holy Spirit to infuse their children with the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit and make a commitment to raise their children in the faith as the Catholic Church teaches. Parents are building Church in the home, what is called the Domestic Church. A home where families grow in faith and holiness together.

Here at St. Agatha Parish Faith Formation, our mission is to support parents and their children on their faith journey.

In Grades 1 - 5, support is given to parents as the primary educators of the faith and the building of their Domestic Church. 

In Grades 6-8 the children begin to develop and explore their place in the Church.

In Grades 9 and up the children learn how to integrate their personal faith into their daily lives as they prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.

PLEASE NOTE: GRADES 1 - 8 USE THE SAME REGISTRATION FORM
THE CONFIRMATION PROGRAM IS A SEPARATE REGISTRATION FORM
