Faith Formation

Eastern Christian Formation (ECF) classes are offered for children and youth from Pre-K through grade 12. Classes are held on Sundays after the Divine Liturgy during the school year. In order to celebrate First Penance, students must attend and complete religious education classes for Grades 1 and 2.  All students must register for classes each year.

Adult Religious Education programs are also offered by the parish and the Eparchy (diocese).  Program dates vary and will be announced throughout the year.

O Lord I believe and profess that You are truly Christ the Son of the Living God who came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the first. Accept me todayas a partaker of Your mystical supper, O Son of God, for I will not reveal Your mystery to Your enemies nor will I  give you a kiss as did Judas, but like the thief I confess to You:

Remember me, O Lord, when You shall come into Your kingdom.

Remember me, O Master, when You shall come into Your kingdom.

Remember me, O Holy One, when You shall come into Your kingdom.

May the partaking of Your Holy mysteries, O Lord, be not for my judgement or condemnation, but for the healing of soul and body.

O Lord, I also believe and profess, that this, which I am about to receive,  is truly Your most precious body and Your life giving blood, which, I pray, make me worthy to receive for the remission of all my sins and for life everlasting. Amen.

O God, have mercy on me a sinner.

O God, cleanse me of my sins and have mercy on me.

O Lord, forgive me for I have sinned without number.
