Family Faith Formation is looking for volunteers to join our team! Our K-6 families will be working through A Family of Faith: Exploring the Profession of Faith this year, and we’re looking for men and women who love the faith and love our families to volunteer once a month during our family faith sessions before mass. Our 7th and 8th grade families will be working through Alpha, Altaration, and Encounter this year, and are also looking for youth volunteers on Wednesday nights!

The heart for our ministry is to see our parish families grow into an increasingly fruitful and mature Catholic faith in Jesus Christ; no catechist experience is necessary to join the team, just a willing heart and a desire to support our families!

We’re at 91.4% of our Goal! 

Thanks to the generosity of our parish family, the SJ Catholic Ministries Appeal continues to make great progress.  With every one’s help, we can definitely meet and even exceed our goal!

Parish Goal: $241,300
Pledges Received (as of July 20, 2026): $220,713
Amount Remaining: $20,587

91.4% of our goal has been pledged!

Every gift makes a difference. Once we reach 100% of our goal, 10% of the funds raised will be returned to our parish. Even better, 75% of every dollar raised above our goal comes back to our parish to support our local ministries and parish needs.  Scan the QR code for more information  

If you have not yet made a gift, please consider helping us reach—and exceed—our goal. Together, we can make a lasting difference through our shared commitment to faith, service and outreach. Thank you for your continued generosity and support.
