Faith Formation at the parish and school for those in grades K-12 is a continuation of and in addition to the faith formation provided by the parents and families. We are here to support parents in their roles as first catechists of their children and all sharing in the journey to know and love God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
High School Youth Ministry for grades 9-12

ICYC26
High school students, mark your calendars for ICYC 26 on March 13-15, 2026. 
Families with Children preparing to receive a sacrament either this year or next are asked to attend 3 Parish Family Faith Events. These events bring families together at the church outside of Sunday or Holy Day Mass.  Families can share their experiences at their interviews.
One of the important duties in these uncertain times is our obligation to protect our children and youth and keep them safe. The Diocese of Baker requires all children and youth of the parish, from Kindergarten through 12th grade, to be taught safe environment lessons each year.
