Faith Formation is the life long process of enhancing our relationship with Jesus Christ and the Church through a deeper understanding of our faith and it’s traditions. Living Christ’s command of evangelizing the world calls us, as re-iterated in the New Evangelization, to lifelong participation in formation of the Christian life. It is not reserved simply for children or those preparing to receive the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist); rather “faith must be known, celebrated, lived, and expressed in prayer." (NDC 20)
At St. Ignatius of Loyola, faith formation opportunities are offered for people of all ages, from early childhood to older adults. Please click on the link below to learn more:
