Faith Formation
-
-
Faith Formation, most commonly associated with school-age children, is a process by which we embark on a lifelong journey with the objective of final beatitude - or heaven! Faith Formation is for everyone and all ages. The foundation we establish in childhood can assist us as we mature and attempt to build our relationships with God and neighbor through adolescence, the teen years, young adulthood, and beyond!
Our parish offers a variety of options for families to become involved in the process of formation, whatever their situation, ages, or need. Join us on this journey as we grow and evolve to better serve the needs of all our families! Explore the many options below, visit our FAITH FORMATION WEBSITE, or contact a member of our Faith Formation Team.

Looking for something a little less traditional for your children? We also offer some specialized programming that might be a great fit. Do you have a child with special needs that might be more successful in a one-on-one learning scenario for Faith Formation? Have your children been away from Faith Formation for a few years or perhaps never been enrolled in Faith Formation so need an option to get them started or caught up like our Learning Portal?

There are a variety of Faith Formation options for students who are enrolled in Kindergarten through Grade 6 between our two campuses; Holy Sepulcher (Glade Mills) and Saint Kilian (Cranberry Twp.). From the "Traditional" classroom setting to "Homeschool" programming that puts the power of teaching the Faith into the hands of the parents, you'll find an option that fits your family. If your child has been away from Faith Formation for awhile or has never participated, we can work with you to start building that important faith-foundation with our Faith Formation Learning Portal!

Grades 7 and 8 participate in a two year program that prepares students for the reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation. The programming is the same at both Holy Sepulcher and Saint Kilian campuses and famillies can enroll at the location of their choice. Options include the Summer Program (1 week in June plus three additional sessions after the first of the year) and the traditional on-site formation classes in the classroom. Middle School students are also encouraged to get involved with Youth Ministry by checking out SKY! You can learn more by visiting any of the links below:

Faith Formation doesn't end when you are Confirmed or graduate from High School! There are many options for adults to learn more about their Faith, who are seeking a deeper relationship with God. For those wishing to become Catholic, the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, or RCIA, is a program and a process just for you! For those simply looking for a class, a bible study, or a retreat, there are different options that become available throughout the course of the year.
