Religious Education is meant to provide a developmentally appropriate, comprehensive, and systematic presentation of Catholic beliefs so that children will be knowledgeable about their faith, grow in their personal relationship with God, and integrate those beliefs and traditions into their personal lives to bring forth the Kingdom of God in the world.
St. Patrick Faith Formation supports parents in their role as the primary religious educators of their children by providing religious education and formation classes for children from Preschool through High School. Our Faith Formation program includes class sessions, special events, and service opportunities beginning in mid-September and ending in May.
- Faith Formation class sessions for levels Pre-K- grade 5 usually meet on Sunday mornings.
- Faith Formation sessions for levels 6, 7 and 8 Edge Middle School and preparation for the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation usually meet twice monthly on Friday evenings.
- Faith Formation sessions for levels 9-12 meet for Life Teen usually meet on Sunday evenings.
