Returning to the Church

Becoming a Catholic through the RCIA process

Would you like to find out more about the Catholic faith? The first step is to inquire and find out some basic information about the Catholic Faith

Are you interested in participating fully in the Church through the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist? Were you Baptized as an infant but never received your First Communion and Confirmation? Would you like to learn more about your faith?

Join us for an inquiry about the Catholic Faith starting Wednesday,              September 20  and 27 at 7:00pm in the Veranda Room next to the parish hall. There is no obligation or commitment required. Call the parish office (818)888-8200 for more information.

ELEMENTARY & MIDDLE SCHOOL FAITH FORMATION

Classes will begin Tuesday, September 19, 2023.

Our program uses "Finding God" from Loyola Press as our textbook. Throughout Finding God, children engage with Scripture and prayerfully consider the essential connections between God's Word and their own lives. All second-year students preparing to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion are presented a Bible as part of their formation as well.

Students attend in-person classes on Tuesdays form 4-5 p.m. in our parish school classrooms. These lessons are intended to be interactive, filled with Scripture quotes, crafts, etc., and are designed to reinforce and deepen your family's understanding and appreciation of our Catholic faith. Families are also given opportunities to gather with our Tuesday students for Faith Celebrations to help bring our Catholic faith and tradition home with your children.

If Tuesdays do not work for the family, please inquire about our Family Faith Formation. This program includes monthly family of faith gathering but allow for at-home instruction of the weekly lessons completed as a family.

Registrations for the 2023-24 school year are due Friday, September 8, 2023. There is a registration fee of $85 for one child, $150 for two, and $225 for three children.
