DEAR FAITH FORMATION FAMILIES,
We are excited to announce that for the upcoming 2024-2025 year, we will be offering a NEW OPTION for our Faith Formation Program. We understand that families have busy schedules and we want to provide flexibility to accommodate everyone’s needs. Specifically, for Grades 1-5, families will have the choice of attending EITHER Sunday Class OR Monday Class. Please see below for details. Our team is dedicated to working with you to make this a great year for our youth to grow closer to Christ. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have questions or need assistance.
