Mondays, 5:00- 6:15 pm – Elementary School (Grades K-5)

Family Catechesis
Is an option for families who want a more personal experience with their children’s religious education.   Parents are the first and most important teachers of their children.  Each family decides on the day and time to have their weekly class in their own home. 

RCIA

The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, otherwise known as RCIA, is for those who want to become a Roman Catholic or those who have already been Baptized, but did not receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Confirmation.

If you are interested, please contact the parish office (540) 891-7350 on how the process works.

Faith Formation
