Faith formation forms children and adults in their faith life. Our mission is to fill the needs of our parish community and beyond. Along with many opportunities to participate in programs, activities, and events, volunteers are needed to develop our faith community. Several areas require additional training, such as Safe Environment and background checks.

Discover, Grow, and Connect

At Immaculate Parish, we believe faith is a journey, an ongoing exploration of our relationship with one another, ourselves, and most importantly, God. Our faith formation is designed to provide a welcoming environment where individuals of all ages can deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith, grow in community with others, and strengthen their relationship with Jesus Christ. Whether you are taking your first steps on this journey or have been walking for years, our faith formation offers various enriching opportunities to meet your needs.

What is Faith Formation?

Faith formation encompasses a lifelong journey of spiritual growth and development. It involves engaging with Sacred Scripture, participating in the Sacraments, reflecting on personal experiences, and connecting with the community. Our program fosters an environment where individuals can explore their faith, wrestle with tough questions, and cultivate a faith that is authentic and personally meaningful.
