Christian Formation at Saint Ann Church

 


 

The Christian Formation program of Saint Ann Church is vital to the faith enrichment of the entire parish. It's goal is to lead each individual to a mature and lasting faith. The term "Christian Formation" includes all efforts that help form the community into the Body of Christ. We aim to provide a well-structured Christian education program as well as opportunity for group sharing.
