Faith Formation K-8

Mission Statement

The primary purpose of all faith formation is to facilitate
religious and faith development in learners. This fact holds true
whether that religious education is done in school by a professional
classroom teacher or around the kitchen table by a parent.

Faith Formation at the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels is an option for children not enrolled in Southern Tier Catholic School. Instruction generally takes place during the normal academic year in the Parish LIfe Center--the red brick building across S. 1st Street from the church building. 

Classes:
Sundays: 9:30 am-10:30 am - Grades K-8
Doors will be open at 9:15 am to accommodate early arrivals.

Sr. Regina Aman, the parish's Director of Religious Education, welcomes you to talk to her personally about your child(ren)'s religious instruction needs.  Note:  If your child attends Southern Tier Catholic and is preparing for the sacraments, please notify Sister Regina.
