Growth in Faith Development

Our faith is not something that we simply learn as children.  We may have learned some things about God, the commands, etc., as children, but we need to live our faith as we grow.  We need to, not only learn more, but to grow into faith as adults.   It really is a process that takes all of our lives. 

Children and young people should attend religious education (C.C.D. , R.C.I.C., or youth group).  Their religious education is not only a preparation to receive sacraments, but also preparing for living their faith for the rest of their lives.

C.C.D. will begin on Saturday 11, 2004.

The R.C.I.C. will begin on Sunday, September 12, 1999.

Youth Group starts on Wednesday, October 6, 1999 at 7:00 p.m. (until 9:00 p.m.).

Adults should look into ways of growing in faith.  Some of those opportunities are:
