Faith & Education

Faith is a gift from God, it is knowledge born of love! Faith formation aims at growing in the knowledge of God who is love. At St. Cecilia we intend to continue this formation and sacramental preparation for grades Kindergarten through High School.

Please contact Stacy Dixon if you would like to assist in any of our faith formation programs.
