Our Mission

The Children’s Faith Formation ministry at St. Frances Cabrini meets families “right where they are” and strives to support parents in their children’s Catholic faith formation. Every year of Children’s Faith Formation builds upon the previous years formation topics, and, by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, our Catholic formation and Sacrament programs offer your children opportunities to encounter Jesus Christ in His Word and through prayer, activities/crafts, outreach and discussion, so they may come to know of their identity as a special, loved, and valued child of God. A Catholic’s formation journey is life-long, and by building an understanding of these foundational teachings, your children may become witnesses of Christian love to the world.

 
 
Train a child up in the way he should go; and even when he is old he will not depart from it.
— Proverbs 22:6
