Children's Faith Formation

"The role of parents in education is of such importance that it is almost impossible to provide an adequate substitute. The right and the duty of parents to educate their children are primordial and inalienable."
Catechism of the Catholic Church


The Faith Formation program at St. John Paul II Parish became a totally at home program starting in March 2020.  We have written a curriculum for our parents to teach at home and we are meeting virtually on Mondays and Tuesdays for our children to keep talking about their faith.  The goal and spirit of our programming is to empower our parents to build a Catholic family based on love and virtues.   

The religious education program that we offer should just be one tool in your toolbox of educating your children in the faith.  We plan to help build up your toolbox for you to create a home where tenderness, forgiveness, respect, fidelity, and service are the rule. 

For more information about our programming, contact Michelle Valcourt at michelle.valcourt@portlanddiocese.org or call 207-883-0334. Cost for the year is $50 per child with a family cap of $150
