The Children’s Faith Formation program at St. Matthew’s Cathedral exists to communicate the Good News of Jesus Christ in the context of the beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. It provides sacramental preparation for First Reconciliation, First Eucharist, and Confirmation as well as ongoing faith formation for children in First through Eighth Grades.
The process of becoming Catholic is formally known as the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). It is a gradual process of spiritual formation that includes prayer, sharing, and study and occurs in the context of the parish community.|
Faith formation activities and programs at St. Matthew’s include lectures, a book club, small faith sharing groups, and mornings of recollection during Advent and Lent.
The Faith Formation Consortium unites representatives from the many and various ministries of our parish concerned with Christian education and spiritual enrichment. The Consortium’s mission is to promote communication, sharing, evaluation, support, and planning for continual improvement and renewal.

Jesus welcomes with open arms each and every person who has had past difficulties with continuing to follow the path of the Church, the body of Christ. Let us help you with your return and reconciliation.
