In our faith formation program, we transmit our students:

• The joy but also the demands of the way of Christ.
• Charity, the love for God and my neighbor.
• That the Holy Spirit is a gentle guest and friend who inspires, guides, corrects, and strengthens our lives.
• That their lives be oriented to the sacraments, that they realize they are sinners because of our fallen nature but also that they know that God is merciful and forgives when one is repented.
• How to conquer human and Christian virtues with the example of saints.

All weekly sessions grades 1 - 6, Confirmation sessions are held as follows:
