Registration for the 2024-2025 Faith Formation year is OPEN! 🎉Thanks to your feedback last spring, our staff worked tirelessly to reformat our programs to better serve YOU. Take a peek at our program details below and don’t delay…register your family for Faith Formation today! Sessions begin September 22 – 25.

 

P.S. Adults – stay tuned for special formation options just for you. This year, we invite you to dive deeper into your faith like never before!

 

At St. Robert of Newminster, we never turn a family away from programming due to an inability to pay. Please contact the Faith Formation Office at FaithFormation@StRobertChurch.org if your family is in need of a scholarship.
