Welcome

Welcome to St. Francis Xavier’s Family Formation Religious Education Program! Family Formation is a Religious Education program that engages both the parents and the children in the family. Children are more likely to put into practice the faith they see lived out day-to-day at home. The Family Formation program serves students from K-8th grade and follows the liturgical cycle.
