Faith Formation

Jesus Christ wants to have a personal relationship with each one of us!  As we grow and live as His disciples, we must continue learning about and growing in our faith.  At St. John Paull II Parish, Faith Formation is a life-long process.  We offer a variety of programs to help members of every age in our community grow closer to Jesus Christ and live as His Disciples.

St. John Paul II Parish offers Sunday evening Religious Education classes for children in grades K through 12.  This also includes preparation for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist.  See the K-12 Religious Education page for more information.  During Religious Education classes, presentations by guest speakers and various studies are offered for adults, covering a variety of faith topics.  Upcoming scheduled presenters are published in the bulletin and on the Adult Study Groups page.  Other studies are offered throughout the year and information about these is available on that page as well.

Children's Liturgy of the Word is offered for K-5 students at the Sunday 9:30 am mass at St. Joe Hill and the Sunday 11:15 mass at St. Paul.  See the Children's Liturgy of the Word page for more information.  Also during these masses, the Mass-Time Nursery for children 6 months to 4 years old is open.  For more information, see the Mass-Time Nursery page.

Throughout the year, programs are also offered for the entire parish family.  Information about these offerings will be published in the parish bulletin and on the parish calendar.  Check out the Vacation Bible School page to see photos from our latest VBS!

The Faith Formation Commission works with Kristina Vogt to provide Faith Formation for all members of our parish family.  This advisory group oversees Religious Education, Vacation Bible School, Adult Studies, RCIA, and other programs that foster the Faith Formation of our parish community.    

Would you like to know more about the Catholic faith? Have you found yourself asking questions about Catholicism on your faith journey and want to learn more? Do you want to become Catholic, but are unsure of the next step? See the Interested in Catholicism page for more information about the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) process.  We would love for you to join us at RCIA on Tuesday nights (7-8:30 pm at St. Joe Hill, August through April) to find out more about Catholicism or take the next step in becoming Catholic.
