Religious Education
The mission of Faith Formation at Blessed Trinity Parish is to teach as Jesus did
following the six tasks of catechesis which are:

Catechesis promotes knowledge of the faith.
Catechesis promotes a knowledge of the meaning of the Liturgy and Sacraments.
Catechesis promotes moral formation in Jesus Christ.
Catechesis teaches the Christian how to pray with Christ.
Catechesis prepares the Christian to live in community and participate actively in the life and mission of the Church.
Catechesis promotes a missionary spirit that prepares the faithful to be present as Christians to society.
Faith formation provides parish members with sacramental preparation and opportunities for life-long spiritual growth and education as disciples of Jesus Christ. The following are opportunities for faith formation at Blessed Trinity Parish.

K-7 Faith Formation: For children entering Kindergarten through Seventh.
Our program supports parents in passing on the faith to their children with a hybrid traditional classroom/whole family catechesis approach.

Grade 8 & Confirmation: For youth in Grades 8 - High School
Grade 8 is a preparation year for Confirmation, with a classroom format focusing on "Living the Mass". For High School (Confirmation), emphasis is on developing their personal relationship with the Lord through discussion, and service, preparing them for the Sacrament of Confirmation.

R.C.I.A. (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults): A spiritual journey for those 18 and older who have not been baptized, or who have been baptized in another denomination and desire full participation in the Catholic Church.
