Faith Formation (Religious Education)

Generations of Faith at St. Benedict & St. Leo the Great

A Sunday Full-Family Faith Formation program that gathers for Mass, a meal, and a lesson. We meet every month with a few other meetings throughout the year with Parents, Children, Teenagers, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Friends.

This year both St. Benedict and St. Leo the Great will share in the Generations of Faith Program, we invite everyone from the Parish to Participate in this amazing program. This is a full family intergenerational program for Parents, Children, Teenagers, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Friends. This is not a drop off program. Parents are intended to stay and participate in the large group and parent session.

Catholic School students do not have to participate in these general faith formation sessions. However, they will participate in additional sacramental prep if they are receiving First Reconciliation, Eucharist, or Confirmation.

Each month we will come together for Mass, fellowship, a snack, prayer, and breaking open a faith topic for discussion and time to grow together in faith and community. Please use the button below to sign up for you and your family to be a part of this amazing community.
