Our Vision of Faith Formation
What’s our purpose?
The purpose of St. Michael’s Faith Formation Program is to provide opportunities for faith formation for the St. Michael Catholic Community and beyond; affirming participants in the practice of their faith within the family, parish, and community, under the direction and leadership of their pastor. This formation is based on Sacred Scripture, the Liturgy of the Church, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the National Directory for Catechesis, and the Directives for Faith Formation from the Diocese of Gary.
What is your role as a parent?
“The role of the family is the first soil on which is planted the seed of faith. Parents are the primary educators in the Faith. All members of the extended family have some role in the formation of young Christians.”
What is asked of your family?
Attending Mass each week as a family provides an example for our children. Regular church attendance helps connect their religious instruction to living a life of faith. By attending weekly Mass, actively contributing to the support of the Church and being of service to others in the community children learn to live the message of the Gospel.
Additionally, attending faith formation classes every week is vital to your child’s understanding and learning about their Catholic faith.
Registration
This year’s registration is now open! Any new parishioners will need to bring a copy of the student’s baptismal certificate. A documentation of transfer is needed if the child has been attending Faith Formation elsewhere.

Faith Formation Committee
The vision of the Faith Formation Committee is to provide opportunities for lifelong faith formation for the St. Michael Catholic Community and affirm parishioners in the practice of their faith within the family, parish, and community, under the direction and leadership of the pastor. This is accomplished by providing a variety of programs and resources that will assist parishioners in their spiritual growth and outreach to others as the followers of Jesus Christ. Programs include Traditional, Family Faith, and Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (beginning at age three). The Faith Formation Board meets monthly.
