Due to the rising numbers of Covid infections and out of an abundance of caution the Faith Formation Department has made some adjustments to our classes for the remainder of the month of January.

Children’s Faith Formation, both Wednesday and Sunday classes, will be held virtually via Zoom for the next three weeks.  In person Wednesday classes will resume on February 2^nd and in-person Sunday classes will resume on February 6^th.

Youth Group will be postponed until February 2^nd.  However, the monthly confirmation meeting on January 16th will still take place while following Covid safety protocols. Videos will be regularly posted on YoutTube and Instagram.  

The Vineyard in-person classes have been postponed until the beginning of February.

Please refer to specific emails from each ministry for more detailed information.

Thank you for your understanding and patience and please pray for all those affected by Covid and other illnesses.
Blessings,
SVDP Faith Formation Team
