Our goal is to support the life-long process of Christian formation by providing opportunities for people of all ages, from preschoolers to seniors, to learn and grow in their faith and love of God, so that they may live it in their everyday lives.
For information on any of these programs, contact Kathleen Nowacki-Correia, our Director of Religious Education.

Christian Faith Formation classes for students in Kindergarten through High School are taught by Virtus-certified Catechists each Sunday mornings from mid-September through early June.
The Lower School courses come from the Ignatius Press “Faith and Life” series, while the High School program follows the “Didache” series from the Mid-West Theological Forum.
Registration opens in mid-August and forms can be found on the parish website and in the church narthex and office.
The cost is $25 per child. Scholarships are available—no questions asked.
Christian Faith Formation Classes
The Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA) is a program for those interested in becoming Catholic or receiving the Sacraments of Initiation. It includes adults, college students, and non-baptized children who have reached the age of reason (7) or older baptized children who have not made their first confession or First Holy Communion in the lower elementary grades.
These programs run from mid-September through May, but the period of inquiry can begin at any time.

Joining the Church
We have several opportunities for adult formation. There is a Wednesday Women's Bible Study group that meets from 9:30 – 11:00 a.m. There are periodic adult faith formation sessions, and several times throughout the year we have longer intergenerational events. These events bring parishioners of all ages together to learn and pray as a community, sharing the wisdom of the older generations and the energy of the younger ones.
Adult Formation
St. Patrick Preschool meets weekday mornings throughout the school year. There are programs for 2 1/2, 3 and 4 year-olds. Children in pull-ups are welcome. Please check the preschool link for additional information and enrollment forms.
