Faith formation and ministry
We believe that when people encounter Christ through the beauty of the Catholic faith, they will transform their parish, community, and culture.
Religious education formation
Religious education formation (REF) assists parents in the Catholic faith formation of their children. It is meant to supplement the religious formation at home.

Spirit of Nazareth Family & Faith Ministry
The Spirit of Nazareth Family & Faith Ministry will be providing ways for families to connect with one another through faith, fun, food, and fellowship opportunities.
​
These opportunities will aid in helping Catholic families to find supportive friendships within the parish and access peer support, have a fun environment that is faith enriching and the whole family can be in attendance; to aid in strengthening Catholic friendships for our children in our current world, as well as ways to bring the spirit of the Holy Family at Nazareth; Jesus, Mary, and Joseph into our own home—the Domestic Church.
​
Join us Oct. 5 for Fall Family Faith & Fun Night.
