Sunday Faith Formation

Register for Sunday Faith Formation
On the first Sunday each month during mass, the youth of our parish are invited to participate in a brief activity that focuses on the readings of the day.  After the opening prayer, the priest will invite all young people and their catechists to the front of the church for a blessing and sending forth with our volunteer catechists.  The children return in time for the Eucharist.

Family Faith Formation

For the 2022-2023 academic year, St. A's continues its FAMILY faith formation approach to religious instruction that encourages and equips parents to catechize their children.  Self-directed, take-home activities are prepared for parents to have everything they need to teach their child about the Catholic Faith at home and these activities are posted below each month.  

Adult Faith Formation

Join Fr. Jason for a weekly Advent Zoom retreat as we work to understand the meaning of the liturgy and its importance to our life of faith, experience Christ s four-fold presence in the various Church rites, come to a deeper relationship with God, and reflect on the transforming power of the liturgy to change the world.  All participants will receive a free copy of the book used for the retreat.

​Each liturgical season we share activity options for family members of all ages to connect with one another on matters of practical application of the faith...and have some fun, too!
