Faith Formation

Beginning in the family, faith formation is a life-long endeavor for Catholics. The Church recognizes you, the parent, as the first and best teacher of the faith for your child (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2223). Children look to their parents for examples of how to live out their call to discipleship.

As Catholics, the most important thing we do is come together as a community to worship, thank God for His many blessings, and receive Holy Communion.  We encourage all families to attend Mass together every week and bear witness to our children the importance of the Eucharist.

At the Collaborative of Saint Albert the Great & Saint Francis Xavier, our Faith Formation program aims to support the efforts of parents by providing ongoing age-appropriate formation, opportunities to encounter Christ in the sacraments, and a focus on the liturgy by scheduling our religious education sessions before or after Mass.

Our Faith Formation fees for 2026-2027 are $125 per student.

Please note: Students in our Sacramental program (First Communion Prep I & II, Confirmation Prep I & II have an additional sacramental fee of $50 due in October 2026
