2023-2024 REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
Christian Formation Sessions will resume on September 10, 2023
“Parents don’t need theology degrees or extensive knowledge of the Bible or liturgy to pass on their faith.
Parents merely need the love they have for their children to effectively form them and introduce them
to a relationship with Christ”.
“Every child and youth program needs to have one thing:
Opportunities for kids and parents to gather together to talk about faith. And parents need to lead it”.
- Dr. John Rinaldo

Thank you for being a part of our family here at St. Kilian Parish, and for fulfilling the responsibility you assumed when you had your child/ren baptized: that you would be “the first teachers of your children in the ways of the faith.” The role of St. Kilian Christian Formation program is to support and assist parents in the catechesis of their children, as well as provide parents with opportunities for adult faith formation. Above all, please remember the first and most importation formation tool at hand for all ages is weekly celebration of the Mass and participation in the sacramental life of the Church.
Within the parish community, our highest priority is to protect God’s Children, the young, and vulnerable adults. All catechists (teachers/leaders) are required to take a course in Protecting Children and Vulnerable Adults and submit to a background check.
