"A sacrament is a remembrance of the past (Christ's Passion),  a proof of the present (grace), and a promise of the future (eternal life)."
~St Thomas Aquinas

Faith Formation is a lifelong process and pursuit to attain true life in the sacraments.  St. Dorothy's offers opportunity for instruction at every age.

Parents are the first and best teachers of our children. Our parish Faith Formation program supplements and assists parents in their primary role of preparing their children to worthily receive the Sacraments. Classes are offered for children from pre-k through 8th grade. Children receive instruction and specific preparation for First Confession, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation.

Hank Kaczmarek's Post Confirmation Apologetics welcomes all students who have been confirmed. The sessions aim to strengthen and continue formation for those who have received Confirmation in a more casual setting between Sunday Masses.
