St. Francis of Assisi Parish
Generations of Faith Program
(Last Updated 11/18/2011)

Generations of Faith is an approach to faith formation that is life long and intergenerational.  It is intended to serve the whole parish--children, teens, college students, young adults, single adults, parents, grandparents, elders--as everyone learns and grows together.  This program will prepare all parishioners for meaningful participation in church events and encourage them to apply the learning to their lives as Catholics.  If you have any questions about the Generations of Faith program, contact the Religious Education Office at 323-6272 ext 2.
