Welcome to St. Catherine of Siena Faith Formation Program
Our parish Faith Formation program is a collaborative process between parents and catechists in preparing children to be life-long Catholics by deepening their knowledge of the faith and developing a personal spiritual life. The students receive instruction through the example Jesus gives us in the Gospels…with love, compassion, and understanding. Jesus Christ is our model of faith, hope, and love.
Our Faith Formation program for children is divided by grade level: Elementary (Grades K-5), Middle School (Grades 6-8), High School (Grades 9-12) In addition, there is preparation for First Reconciliation (Confession), First Holy Communion, and Confirmation. Children who are not yet baptized but want to become Catholics attend OCIA Children
