Our Director of Faith Formation, Katie Schaitberger, sent out a letter this past week (March 17, 2020) to all Faith Formation Families inviting them to take advantage of the many opportunities available to grow in faith and love for Christ and his Church — even while we are largely confined to our homes. 

Click here to view her letter entitled, “Ways to Grow in Our Catholic Faith for Adults and Kids” which includes links to prayer tutorials, informational videos, and even activities for children.
