About OLOJ Faith Formation for Children
Our Lady of Joy’s children’s faith formation is a dynamic program that integrates catechesis and activities using the Faith and Life Series by Ignatius Press, which incorporates Sacred Scripture, the Catechism, prayer and liturgy into the learning process. We strive to provide excellent spiritual and intellectual faith formation for your children.
Teachers and classroom aides are needed! We need committed, faithful Catholics of all ages to answer the call to share the faith with the children of our parish family. If you are a fully practicing Catholic who loves the Lord and His Church with all your heart, you may be called to assist us in this amazing ministry! Contact the Faith Formation office to inquire.
