The mission of our Faith Formation Office is to offer educational and formational opportunities to all members of our parish. We provide support to enable people to grow stronger in their relationship with Christ and develop a greater understanding of the teachings of the Catholic Church. Faith Formation is available for all ages, and we are always looking for volunteers to serve as catechists, program coordinators, office assistants, etc. Faith Formation happens at different times and days to accommodate varying schedules. For more information on how you can help, please call the Faith Formation Office at (210) 433-2777 ext. 118 or 138.
