Faith Formation
Faith Formaiton at St. John the Evangelist
Our Faith Formation program is dedicated to nurturing and deepening the Catholic faith across all ages, from young children to adults, as we grow together in knowledge, love, and service to God. Through our programs, we support parishioners in developing a rich understanding of the Catholic faith and a close, personal relationship with Christ.
Children’s Faith Formation (CCD) In our Children’s Faith Formation (CCD) program, we partner with parents—the primary educators of the faith—to help children build a strong foundation in Catholic teachings and practices. Through weekly classes, sacramental preparation, and family faith events, we encourage a lifelong love for Christ and His Church.
Youth Ministry Our Youth Ministry offers a vibrant community where middle and high school students can deepen their faith, build friendships, and experience the joy of living out the Gospel. Through faith discussions, service opportunities, and fun group activities, we support youth in their journey of faith and personal growth.
Adult Faith Formation Adult Faith Formation at The Basilica of Saint Mary provides opportunities for adults to grow in their faith and deepen their understanding of Catholic teachings. From Bible studies and speaker series to small group discussions, we invite adults to explore their faith, strengthen their relationship with God, and become more active members of our parish community.
Sacramental Preparation We offer comprehensive programs for those preparing to receive the Sacraments, including First Holy Communion, Confirmation, and RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults). These programs provide a thorough understanding of the sacraments and their importance in the Catholic faith, welcoming participants into a life enriched by God’s grace.
Our Faith Formation programs are open to all parishioners and designed to inspire a journey of lifelong learning and discipleship. We welcome you to join us as we grow together in faith, hope, and love.
