St. Joseph-on-Carrollton Manor Catholic Church

FAITH FORMATIOM

The Faith Formation Program is a collaborative ministry of sharing our stories on how we live and practice our Catholic Faith. 

We need a strong commitment and involvement from the entire parish community. 

“Collaborative Ministry” is all about teamwork by word, action, and example.  The responsibility then, for this year’s programs, rests with all of the Faith Community: priests, deacons, parents, family, students, and parishioners. 

Let us work together as a team in sharing our faith.    

 3 GOALS:

1.  To provide varied educational opportunities to our parish children, youth, young adults, adult parishioners, those on the parish staff, and those serving in ministries.

2. To continue to become a welcoming and nurturing family of faith by proclaiming the Gospel message and sharing an active faith with those in our community at large.

3. To introduce our young people to the sacramental life of the church, integrate them into the faith life of the community, and form them into disciples committed to living out his or her baptismal mission.
