Welcome to St. Mary Magdalen!

Family Faith Formation is St. Mary Magdalen’s Parish School of Religion program. Family Faith is Catholic religious education in a classroom setting for students grades 1st through 8th grade who attend area public schools and non-Catholic private schools. 

Our program supports the religious formation of parents, who are the first teachers of their children in the ways of the faith. We assist families in the areas of knowledge of the faith, Christian life skills, and religious practices. Our goal is to help families strengthen their relationship with Jesus and His Church.

Family Faith Formation meets on alternating Sunday mornings during the academic year. On non-Classroom Sundays, students will complete a lesson at home.
