The work of evangelization enriches the mind and the heart; it opens up spiritual horizons; it makes us more and more sensitive to the workings of the Holy Spirit, and it takes us beyond our limited spiritual constructs.
– Pope Francis (Evangelii Gaudium 272)
Welcome to the Office of Faith Formation and Parish Life
The Office of Faith Formation and Parish Life is here to support all those involved in parish faith formation, youth ministry, and sacramental preparation. We also accompany and resource parish life ministries, including marriage preparation, bereavement support, and more.
Our mission is to walk with you in your ministry - offering guidance, sharing resources, and fostering collaboration. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or needs.
If you are an adult wishing to receive the sacrament of Confirmation, we have resources and information to help you navigate the process.
