In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus commissioned his disciples to "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you, and behold, I will be with you always, until the end of the world.

 

Jesus has entrusted each of us with both the privilege and responsibility of taking God's Word to those who cross our path. Parents, first of all, begin this important task when they lead their children to receive the gift of faith through Baptism. Parents are their children's first teachers, nurturing faith within their homes.

 

Our mission in the Faith Formation program is to collaborate with parents to form a new generation of Catholics who find the love of Jesus Christ and live as his disciples in the community of the Catholic Church. We will strive to offer a unified, strong, and engaging faith formation program.

 

While our children will receive formation through Our Lady of Fatima's faith formation program, the Church strongly encourages all parents to walk closely with their children as they grow in the knowledge and practice of the Catholic faith. Our Lady of Fatima Parish will also help parents grow in their faith by providing faith formation classes for them as well.

 

Our Lady of Fatima Faith Formation program will plant a seed of faith that will grow eternally in each child.

 

The faith formation program helps nurture that growing faith with religious instruction for children from 2nd through 12th grade.
