Faith Formation
St Christine’s Faith Formation Program's mission is to support you in bringing your children into an intimate relationship with Jesus, one of trust and affection, as you guide them in sharing God's love through discipleship and the sacramental life of the church.
Faith Formation Information for Pre-Kindergarten thru Confirmation
Grades Pre-School – Grade Five
Faith Formation classes meet weekly. We strongly believe meeting weekly offers many benefits for your children and families. The children will deepen their faith through a safe and supportive space to grow in love with Jesus and one another. They come to know that they are an important part of our parish family and are valued, respected and loved. Weekly classes foster a sense of community and belonging, allowing families to connect with like-minded people.
As Catholics, the most important thing we do is come together as a community to worship, thank God for His many blessings, and receive Holy Communion. We encourage all families to attend Mass together every week and bear witness to our children the importance of the Eucharist.
Special Masses are scheduled throughout the school year for each grade level. Please refer to your child’s grade level calendars and save the dates!
