Parents, please note these requirements for your children to celebrate the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Eucharist:
We highly recommend that all children, beginning in kindergarten, attend ongoing faith formation for their spiritual growth and development. Please plan ahead if you intend for your children to celebrate these sacraments in the 2nd grade. If your child is in the 3rd grade or above and needs these sacraments please contact Deacon Rudy Villarreal, Faith Formation/Evangelization Director, in the parish office.
Our Catechesis Program serves children and youth from ages Kindergarten through 12th grade.
Elementary Program:
The Elementary Faith Formation program is staffed by trained lay catechists who share their faith with others in order to guide the child's growth.
If you have questions, please contact Deacon Rudy, Director of Faith Formation & Evangelization at [email protected].
