Faith Formation

Call for Catechists:
If you love our faith and would like to share it with our youth or other adults, this is a great opportunity for you! As we prepare to start our new faith formation year, we have a tremendous need for catechists for all age groups!
You do not need to have a doctorate in theology nor know every line of the Bible, but simply be willing to share your faith and love of our Lord. We really need you to help us evangelize and catechize our children, teens and adults.

Our faith formation programs are designed to teach and inspire. Since growing in our knowledge of the faith is a lifelong journey, our programs offer opportunities for both children and adults to grow in the knowledge and love of God and our Catholic Faith.
Our parish religious education program for children is divided by grade level:- Elementary (Grades pre-K-5)
- Middle School (Grades 6-8)
- High School (Grades 9-12)
In addition, Saint William offers focused preparation for First Reconciliation (Confession), First Holy Communion, and Confirmation. Children who are not yet baptized but want to become Catholics attend Order of Christian Initiation for Adults Adapted for Children (OCIA-AC).
We have more than 1,000 children enrolled in our programs and are always in need of generous volunteers. If you are interested in helping, please contact us (see contact information in lefthand column).
