Faith Formation

WELCOME TO FAITH FORMATION!

Registration for Children’s Faith Formation for TK-7th grade is NOW OPEN! Our annual sessions from October to May include a two-year preparation for First Reconciliation and First Holy Eucharist. We also welcome children over the age of seven who have not yet been baptized to participate in the Rite of Christian Initiation adapted for Children.

To register, please either complete the printable form OR the Google Form Registration. If you opt to fill out the printable version, please drop it off in the office (Monday-Thursday 9-4pm) or email the forms to Sandra Quintanilla at sandra.quintanilla@dsj.org. You are now able to pay the fees using PayPal or Venmo. If you would like to pay cash or check complete your payment through the office as well.
