After much discussion we have decided to join the growing number of parishes in our area to launch a new Faith Formation program at our parish. This program is one which brings the whole family together to learn side by side and allow opportunities to support parents in their great vocation of witnessing the teachings of the faith to their children. Classes will be monthly and will take the place of the previous weekly meetings. for more information, click on the title.
