Faith Formation
We will begin our Faith Formation year with a Meet the Catechist event at the Annual Faith Fest following Mass on Sunday, September 17th.
Classes will begin for all students on Wednesday, September 27th.
Each year the church sponsors a Basket Raffle with the proceeds donated to our Faith Formation Program. We are looking for volunteers to lead that fundraiser. If you are interested, please each out to Ashley Gossen, scrff@hbci.com, 507-604-0016.
I am excited to say that all of our Catechists have agreed to return for another year of teaching. If you would like to help in the classroom or other ways, please reach out to Ashley Gossen, scrff@hbci.com, 507-604-0016.
