Children’s Faith Formation is for children between the ages of 6 and 17 who would like to learn more about their Catholic faith and/or prepare for their sacraments.

Our Core Principles
Resources for 2024-2025
St. Ignatius Parish also offers:
Children's Liturgy of the Word
This ministry brings the message of the Gospel to children and families in their own words. Children (ages Pre-K through Grade 4) meet with adult leaders during the Liturgy of the Word at the 10 am Mass on most Sundays.
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults adapted for Children
This program is for youngsters who have reached the age of reason (typically 7) and not been baptized, and faith formation for teens who have not yet made their First Communion.
Youth Ministry
This program serves youth, ages 8 to 18, and their need for connection in the context of faith, service and community.
