Faith Formation Classes are offered at Holy Spirit Church for students in grades 1-10.
It is our goal to offer classes that teach children the beliefs of the Catholic Church that have been passed down from generation to generation.
We want our students to understand what we believe as Christians and how to live out those beliefs.
