Faith Formation Student Handbook 2024“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”
– Luke 18:16
Faith Formation Resources
All members of the Cathedral are invited to partake in Catholic Faith Formation. Whether you are looking for formation for yourself, your kids, or the whole family, our parish offers a variety of curated classes from Bible Nursery through 12th grade. Classes are taught by adult catechists from the diocese, who actively proclaim and live out Church teachings and share traditions of the Syro-Malabar church with the next generation. All teachers are required to complete orientation, Safe Environment training, and participate in Continuing Education Units (CEUs) every year. Join over 600 students every Sunday, as they dive into the Catholic faith and celebrate feasts. Separate English Qurbanas that are catered to different age groups are also offered each Sunday. Check out our unique offerings:
