Faith Formation
Monthly Gathering for Faith Enrichment for ALL Ages

Phone: 585-786-2400 ext.101
In September of 2020 St. Michael R.C. Church in Warsaw, NY and St. Isidore's Parish Community in Perry and Silver Springs, NY, partnered together to create a NEW Faith Formation program which is designed for everyone to come together to grow in their faith and to learn more about the Gospel message.
The program is designed for families to participate together in learning about the faith. Each session will be different, but generally there will be time where everyone is together and then a time where there will be break out sessions for age appropriate activities and conversations. Even if someone does not have a child in the program they are still welcomed to come and participate in it.
Those children/students preparing for a sacrament should meet the criteria listed and will be asked to attend additional sessions which will be more of a traditional classroom setting.
Check back here often for more news, information and resources regarding our Faith Formation Program, especially as it develops here in its early stages.

The sacraments lead us to real encounters with God. They serve as milestones in our faith journey, and hopefully deepen our appreciation for our faith. While some of the sacraments have traditionally been received based on "school grade level" in the past, we here in our community have made adjustments to this, to ensure that those who receive the sacraments understand what they are participating in. Below is a link for the "Sacramental Qualifiers" for the Sacrament of First Reconciliation, Sacrament of First Eucharist, and the Sacrament of Confirmation.
