Youth & Family Faith Formation

Grades K - 6

A child’s faith will serve as a firm foundation in the years to come. Faith Formation is not just for the children, but a shared family-faith experience. Sts. Mary & Matthew Faith Formation Ministry is here to assist you and your children grow in, and learn about the Catholic faith, while ever encouraging you to grow deeper into your relationship with Jesus.
