Life-Long Faith Formation

The Faith Formation team at St. James parish is focused on drawing all members of St. James parish into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ, specifically by encouraging life-long learning about the richness of our Catholic faith.

The Faith Formation team looks to heighten the awareness within our parish members that all of us are called to continually study and practice our faith.  In addition to long-standing traditional faith ministries, including Religious Education for children (leading to the sacraments of Reconciliation, Holy Eucharist, and Confirmation), the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA), Christian Recreation and Spiritual Harmony (CRASH for teens), and Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLOW), this ministry is presently planning the following:

• Religious Education:  Provide more scheduling choices for families; Engage Summer Program families in year-round Religious Ed events
• Reinstate Small Faith Sharing Groups with flexibility for scheduling and programs
• FORMED.ORG as a faith formation resource to support ministry goals and as a personal resource

We are committed to offering a variety of learning and inspirational experiences for adults in our parish, including Bible Study, Small Faith-Sharing Groups, and Lectures.


Get Involved

Beyond these offerings, there are many more avenues for faith formation that could benefit our Parish members, especially for our young adults and young families.  We ask you to contribute your views on life-long faith formation by joining our team. We look forward to having you join us in this holy effort to grow the faith among the faithful.
