Faith formation doesn't have to (and shouldn't) end after Confirmation!

The group meets on Sundays from 9:15-10:15am. Contact Tara Stone at fidesetspes@gmail.com for more information.

"Got Pope" will unwrap the Biblical revelations that will prove how Jesus intended His Church on earth to be governed, preserved, and maintained in absolute and uncompromising Truth.
