Forming Families of Disciples
Welcome to the School of Religion at St. Michael Catholic Church!
Our mission is to partner with parents in forming young disciples of Jesus Christ through faith formation, sacramental preparation, prayer, worship, and service.
We offer faith formation opportunities for children and teens preparing for:
• First Reconciliation & First Holy Communion
• Confirmation
• OCIA for Teens (Order of Christian Initiation for Adolescents)
Share Your Faith. Inspire the Next Generation.
The School of Religion at St. Michael Catholic Church depends on the generous service of volunteers who are willing to share their time, talents, and faith with our children and youth. Whether you feel called to teach, mentor, serve at Mass, or support special events, there is a place for you in our ministry.
