Formation
Faith Formation (PSR) (K-8) seeks to build and nurture a strong foundation in the Catholic faith by helping children and youth understand not only how we practice our faith, but why. Through hands-on activities, they explore Scripture, basic Catholic theology, and the lives of the Saints, fostering a deeper and more complete understanding of Catholicism.
Youth Group (Grades 9-12) is a parish youth community that meets weekly for prayer, faith formation, and fellowship, while also hosting monthly events and service projects to involve and engage all parish youth. Special activities include pizza parties, game nights, field trips, and retreats.
OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults) is designed for those who desire a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith, as well as for individuals seeking to enter full communion with the Catholic Church. Through engaging presentations and meaningful discussions, participants are introduced to the foundations of Catholic belief, theology, and moral teaching, and are guided in their journey of faith towards the one, true Church.

Brothers of the Trinity is a men's ministry dedicated to helping men grow closer to God through shared activities, fellowship, and faith-centered formation within our parish community. Our ministry is built upon four pillars, with each week focusing on one pillar: Faith Formation - deepening our understanding of Scripture and Church teaching; Worship - prayer, reflection, and growing in our spiritual life; Fellowship - building authentic brotherhood and fellowship; Service - putting faith into action through acts of charity and outreach. This is a newer ministry and a great opportunity to get involved from the ground up.
Moms' Group was formed to support mothers, to foster motherhood in the Catholic faith, and to provide a forum for discussion. The group meets each Wednesday morning during the school year, and children are welcome.
