NEW for the 2022-23 formation year!
St. James Family Formation
Our primary mission at St. James is to equip families to help their children grow closer to Christ and form disciples. Teaching children our Catholic faith is only a small part of our mission, which we will now ask parents to undertake by working on Gospel Weeklies with their children at home, since parents are the primary witnesses of our faith to their children. Our in-person gatherings will instead serve the purpose of providing opportunities for families to encounter Jesus through the sacraments (Mass and Confession), God's Word (the Bible), family prayer and fellowship with our faith community.
This video from a Catholic parish illustrates well what Family Formation is and why it is a blessing to families and parishes.
