All Saints Parish offers many opportunities for faith formation and spiritual growth. From children's sessions and youth/teen ministries to adult programs, we believe that learning about and growing in our faith is a life-long discovery.
Faith Formation programming is available to all parishioners, as well as those seeking membership in the Catholic Church. Programs include adult bible study, Faith Formation of our youth from pre-school through high school, Children’s Liturgy of the Word, the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, and Catholics Returning Home. Opportunities are available for volunteers as catechists, seminar leaders in our adult education programs and sacramental preparation classes, and sponsors of those preparing to become Catholic.Mission Statement
Faith Formation is designed to foster our relationship with Jesus through shared experiences and a growing understanding of our Catholic Tradition while honoring the development of both the heart and mind throughout our lifetime.
