If you know of Catholic families who have children over the age of 7 years old in need of Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation, please encourage them to sign up for any Faith Formation sessions of their grade level. To fulfill their immediate preparation for the Sacraments of Initiation, they will also participate in dismissal at Sunday Mass for Christian Initiation.
The quality of the Guardian Angels Faith Formation program is directly correlated to dedication of our parishioners who have become certified Catechists by the Diocese of San Diego in order to properly catechize our young people. In addition, all adults working with children are background checked and trained through the Diocese of San Diego Safe Environment curriculum. Children during the beginning of the year will also be given instruction on the No-Go-Tell rule so they can learn how to protect themselves.
Wishing you and your household all God’s blessings. We pray that through this Faith Formation year our families become a stronger and more connected community of faith in our parish and Santee community.
