2026-2027 Family Faith Formation (Religious Education)
Family Faith Formation
Families are invited to participate in Family Faith Formation once a month. The evening will begin at 6 pm - 6:30 p.m. with a meal. Then, from 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m., Fr. Mark will give a lesson to parents, Fr. Sudhakar will teach 2nd grade for First Reconciliation/First Holy Communion, and Fr. Steve will teach 7th and 8th graders. The other grade levels will be taught by catechists. This style of religious education is called “Family Faith Formation,” and the goal is to teach both adults and children, with Fr. Mark equipping parents to hand on the faith to their children at home. Technically, the “Family Faith Formation” curriculum is intended for grades K-6, and Fr. Steve will be teaching a different curriculum to the 7th and 8th graders.
Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary - Spiritual Warfare and the Grace of Abandonment
A Retreat on Trust, Surrender, and the Victory of the Immaculate Heart
This Flame of Love Retreat draws us into the Spiritual Diary of Elizabeth Kindelmann to explore the very real spiritual battle that can arise in times of suffering, uncertainty, and surrender. Through Elizabeth's own experience, we discover how the Flame of Love forms us to recognize the tactics of the enemy, remain anchored in God, and embrace abandonment as a powerful weapon in spiritual warfare.
