St. Matthew > Faith Formation

Through faith formation, as well as family and youth events, our primary goal is to provide parents with the support to raise their children in the Catholic faith while creating a family life which is built upon and completely intertwined with that faith. We seek to offer children and parents the opportunity to discover the joy of a friendship with Jesus, and to learn how to grow that friendship through the gift of our Catholic faith.
