What is Religious Education/Faith Formation?

At Our Lady of the Snows Parish, we believe it is very important to offer our children the necessary education to build a solid base nurtured in our Christian beliefs and our Catholic tradition.

With the current pandemic, we are continuing with a 100% virtual program. Children will not be required to attend class on site. Rather, they will connect with a computer or tablet, at a designated date and time and interact with a catechist and other students to learn about our faith.

In order to enhance the child's Christian faith, we require that children attend Sunday Mass with parents or view it online.

At Our Lady of the Snows Parish, we are nurturing the faith of tomorrow's missionary disciples!
