My Catholic Faith Delivered logins have all been released so students can sign into their classes and begin their coursework.  Instruction will primarily take place at home, encouraging parents to journey with their children as they grow in faith through the online learning platform My Catholic Faith Delivered. Catechists can communicate with their classes through lesson threads and will be hosting Zoom meetings during the months of November, December and February (one each month) to discuss the Saints, Advent/Christmas and Lent/Easter respectively.

Late registration for all grades is now closed.

Please pray that our Faith Formation program prepares our children to encounter Jesus and share in the graces and peace that only such an encounter can bring!

“One day through the Rosary and the Scapular I will save the world.”
-Blessed Virgin Mary to St. Dominic
