Faith Formation Information

Saint Robert of Newminster Parish envisions faith formation as a year-round discipleship process. Learning/age groups are called by discipleship titles. Our year-round schedule will include three terms: Fall (September-December), Winter/Spring (January-April), and Summer (May-August). The Fall and Winter terms include weekly formation and Sacramental prep and will follow the KISD calendar. Our Summer term includes supplemental programming, such as Grandparent/Grandchild Camp, VBS, One Bread One Cup Liturgical Leadership Conference, SLICE Summer Fun & Games, as well as service projects and a mission trip. Summer programming registration typically launches in March, and registration is per event.

After carefully reading through this information, if you have any questions about faith formation processes at Saint Robert’s, please don’t hesitate to contact the faith formation office: 616-676-9111 ext 114, faithformation@strobertchurch.org.
