Faith Formation

Welcome to Faith Formation at Our Lady Star of the Sea

Parish Mission:WITH MARY, WE BRING PEOPLE TO CHRIST TO LIVE THE LOVE OF GOD.

Faith Formation at Star is more than just classes—it is about helping people of all ages grow as disciples of Jesus. Through prayer, sacraments, service, and study, we strengthen families, form community, and walk together toward Christ.

Here you’ll find resources and opportunities to support your spiritual journey. Whether you are just beginning or continuing your walk of faith, this is the place to connect, grow, and belong.

What We Offer

  • Children’s Catechesis (Grades 1–8): Weekly sessions led by dedicated catechists, helping children build a foundation in prayer, Scripture, and the sacraments.

  • High School Faith Formation & Youth Ministry: Opportunities for teens to encounter Christ through retreats, service, small groups, and parish life.

  • OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults): For adults who are exploring the Catholic faith, preparing for sacraments, or seeking to deepen their relationship with Christ.

  • Sacramental Preparation: Preparation for First Reconciliation, First Communion, and Confirmation with retreats, parent sessions, and parish celebrations.

Our Approach
Parents are the first teachers of the faith. We partner with families by providing tools, encouragement, and a supportive parish community so children and adults alike can grow in love of God.

Get Involved
There are many ways to share your gifts—whether through serving as a catechist, helping at events, or supporting in prayer. Everyone has a role in forming disciples!
