2022-2023 Confirmation Calendar
Welcome to Faith Formation at Saint John the Evangelist!
The Mission of our Faith Formation Program is to help each child in our care to have a personal relationship with Jesus of Nazareth. Utilizing the insights of scripture and tradition as a resource and reinforcing what the Catholic Church teaches and believes, the catechists of the Saint John the Evangelist Faith Formation Program instruct the children of the parish to live their lives in imitation of Christ and to respond to their baptismal call to follow Him. Together with the children, our Catechists:
- Share the Gospel, the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
- Teach children to pray.
- Share Catholic traditions.
- Encourage children and families to engage in the Sacramental Life of the Church.
