- Faith Formation

“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” ~Matthew 18:20

Fostering Spiritual Life

Parents are the first educators in their child’s faith. Children are not only formed in the religious education programs but foremost in the homes by their families. This is why parents are encouraged to play an active role in this retreat. As a time of grace for both the child and the parent, catechesis preparation is a beautiful journey of unquenchable personal love.

The Parent Retreat

This retreat offers parents a chance to experience the fullness of their faith in the sacraments and develop community with other parents in a Christ-like setting. Sacraments are powers that come forth from the Body of Christ to heal the wounds of sin and give us new life in Christ. Jesus continually calls us to conversion and His call should resonate in our lives as we grow in holiness.
