Faith Formation
Religious Education

At Our Lady Star of the Sea, forming a child’s faith is a continuous and holistic process, which takes approximately eight years in order to build a solid foundation. We strongly recommend that you enroll your child at the age of 3 years old.
The first step is to help form a child’s faith in God, by nurturing the child’s innate relationship with God. At the same time, they’re developing relationships with our team, who recognize each one of them as a unique individual and a beloved child of God. Then, when each child tells us in his or her own way “I’m ready!” we decisively and gently guide them towards an ever-deepening relationship with and understanding of our Triune God.
Along the way, we prepare them to encounter God sacramentally — knowing that your family will make every effort to be present weekly at Sunday Mass where that most extraordinary encounter in the Eucharist is celebrated again and again.
At Our Lady Star of the Sea, we don’t speak in terms of “grade” levels, so please plan to enroll every year and offer your child every opportunity to form a strong foundation.
