Family RoomSt. Luke’s Roman Catholic Church welcomes all families to our Faith Formation Program. We have sessions on Monday evenings for all youth from Pre-K thru 11th grade. This allows the opportunity for parents to come out one evening per week with all youth.
In addition to faith formation for our youth, we also have Adult Faith Formation. December 6th will be our Advent Session! January 10th will start our 10 week Adult Faith Formation Series! Topics will include, but are not limited to “Everything you wanted to know about being Catholic, but were a too afraid to ask”’, etc.
Prayer Services: Through out the year, we will offer Prayer Services for families. These will be held on Monday evenings in place of classes. Families are encouraged to participate together for our prayer services.
