During the transition years of the implementation of the Restore - Renew - Proclaim Diocesan initiative we will not be offering Summer Formation programs. We will continue to offer Youth Ministry programs and the Vacation Bible School. For more information on these and our 2019-2020 formation programs please contact Maryann at 603-888-0321. Registrations for school year 2019-2020 are now open. There is an Early Bird $15.00 discount if you register your family before May 31. Vacation Bible School is August 5-9, 2019, 9-Noon. Registrations are now open.
A comprehensive Faith Formation Program includes all four components of Faith Formation: Worship, Community, Catholic Teaching and Mission. The Mass, the source and summit of the Christian life, is at the center of all our programs. To complement the Mass, we offer a variety of community building events, classes and age-appropriate mission opportunities each year of formation. Through our offerings, our youth will come to understand the Sacraments, Traditions and Beliefs we profess during the Mass and live in daily life, while they are being formed into disciples of Jesus Christ.
We encourage all parish families to register their school-age children, on a yearly basis, into our Faith Formation Programs if they do not attend a Catholic School. Regular participation in faith formation and enrichment programs help families nurture the graces received at Mass. All Catholic and Public School students are encouraged and invited to participate in our enrichment offerings each year to complement the Faith Formation they receive at their Catholic School or at Immaculate Conception Church.
Our Faith Formation Team is always happy to discuss your family’s formation options and answer any questions you may have. We can be reached Monday thru Thursday from 9:00am until 3:30pm at (603)888-0608 or via email using our Faith Formation Office Contact Form.
