Adult faith formation does not end with the reception of Confirmation. We strive to meet this need for knowledge about the Faith through various methods of adult catechesis encompassing adults of all ages.
Every Catholic should aspire to spiritual growth through learning, prayer and study. Every baptized Catholic is called to share in the mission of the Church. In order to live and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we must be knowledgeable about our Faith.
Check here as well as the Parish Bulletin for days, times and locations of the various programs/opportunities offered.

We believe that every child is a precious gift of God. It is truly wonderful that you wish to share the Faith with your child, for Jesus said: “Let the children come to me.”
To begin the task of bringing up your child in the Catholic Church, first-time parents who wish to present their child for Baptism are required to take a Baptism Preparation Class. It is a delight to share with you the rich depth and beauty of what it means to be a Catholic parent. This informal discussion educates attendees on the significance of the Sacrament of Baptism and gives insight and encouragement regarding what parents (and godparents) will promise to do.
Godparents are welcome and encouraged to participate. (Please read the Godparent & Sponsor Guidelines before selecting godparents.) To help attendees and the presenter(s) to focus on the subject matter, it is highly recommended that those who already have children find child care for the class time at which you will be attending.
A Baptism Preparation Class and Dinner will be offered on the following Tuesdays at 6:00PM at St. Frances Cabrini, O’Connell Hall:
Completion of this class is required before the baptism can be scheduled.
