Faith Formation for Children and Adults

Children’s Faith Formation

The Religious Education program at St. Jane Frances strives to support parents in their role as primary educator through incorporation of four key ingredients into our program. These ingredients are: message, community, worship, and service.

Together parents, students, catechists, and staff, as a true community, worship our God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and call each other to serve according to our individual gifts and talents. Parents are strongly encouraged to be a part of our program as Catechists, Aides, support at Retreats, etc.

We are first and foremost a worshipping community. Your family presence at Liturgy speaks louder than words in teaching your children respect for the Commandments, faithfulness to the Church and its traditions, and most certainly love and respect of our God.

Adult Faith Formation

Adult Faith Formation exists to enlighten adults in our parish in their Catholic faith. We pray that they will be touched and transformed by the life-giving message of Jesus Christ. We participate in the evangelizing mission of the Catholic Church by developing, instructing, supporting, and fulfilling the catechetical and spiritual formation of the Catholic faith for adults.
