Faith Formation (preK-5) – St. Rita Catholic Church

Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”

– Matthew 28:19-20

With his very last words before he ascended into heaven, Jesus commanded us to teach everyone about him, to deepen our own faith and then share it with each and every person we meet.

The goal of youth discipleship is to bring young people closer to God, to teach them about their faith, and to equip them to go out and share the Good News with everyone. In short, we want to teach the young Church to love well, so that the Catholic Church may be filled with disciples of Jesus who are excited about their faith (love God) and want to share it with others (love others).

Faith Formation classes for preschool through 5th grade children are most Sundays from 10:00-11:00 a.m. in our classrooms. To register your child for Faith Formation, please follow the links below:

In addition, our youngest disciples, ages 3-6, will be invited to experience their faith through a Montessori-based program called Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Our beautiful Atrium welcomes them into a self-led discovery of their faith through hands-on activities and works. For more information about CGS, click HERE.
