Faith Formation
St. Patrick offers many opportunities for Faith Formation for children, teens, young adults and for adults as well. All this is aimed at drawing us closer to the heart of Christ.
Are you interested in becoming Catholic? The process for becoming Catholic is called the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA), which is our formation process for adults who:
-
Have never been baptized
-
Have been baptized but want to receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation, First Communion, and Confirmation
-
Those who have been baptized in another faith and would like to become Roman Catholic
OCIA is a faith journey designed to meet our fundamental spiritual needs as God’s children and help us identify with and become a part of a faith community. The OCIA program begins each fall and ends at Easter the following spring.
At the Pastorate of Saint Patrick and Saint Joan of Arc, we believe that faith is a lifelong journey—one that grows best when it is nurtured in community. Our Faith Formation Program seeks to provide opportunities for children, teens, and families to encounter Christ, grow in their relationship with Him, and live as joyful witnesses of the Gospel. Through prayer, learning, worship, service, and fellowship, we walk together as disciples of Jesus.​
Whether you are just beginning your child’s faith journey, preparing to receive a sacrament, seeking to deepen your family’s prayer life, or looking for ways for your teen to grow in faith with their peers, we are here to walk with you.
​
Youth Ministry at the Pastorate of Saint Patrick and Saint Joan of Arc offers middle and high school students a space to belong, grow, and live out their faith.
Through regular gatherings, service opportunities, retreats, and social events, youth are invited to encounter Christ in prayer, friendship, and service.
Together, they learn to navigate life’s challenges with faith and to discover their place in God’s plan.
