Mission
A program running September - April in which the primary family faith formation educators of the children are the parents. The entire family joins other families for monthly sessions at the school to learn and grow further in their faith. Attendance (parents and students) at monthly sessions is mandatory.

This program is designed for students 1st through 9th grade as an alternative to our regularly scheduled Family Faith Formation classes. It is designed for families who want to grow in their faith together, and is flexible for those families who cannot attend our traditional program.
