Faith Formation for Every Household

Growing in Faith Together is a whole community approach to faith formation available to every parish household. Whether you have children or not, G.I.F.T. is designed for you.

Each session begins in the church with an opening prayer and an overview of the evening’s theme before breaking into small groups as a family. It is a joyful, welcoming environment where faith is explored together across generations.

  • Open to all parish households — families with or without children
  • Meets on Sundays from 4:00–5:30 PM
  • Nursery care and Pre-K program available for infants and toddlers
  • A parent or guardian must accompany children

Registration is Open!

We are excited to invite your family to join us for the 2026–2027 G.I.F.T. year. Register today to secure your spot and begin the journey of faith together.
