The mission of the Faith Formation program of St. Alphonsus is to support parishioners in developing their
Catholic Faith by:
  • empowering and assisting parents to become the primary catechists of their children;
  • providing engaging and dynamic opportunities for youth and adults of all ages; and
  • strengthening all parishioners through lifelong learning.

How will you serve?

“Christ has no body now but yours.
No hands, no feet on earth but yours.

Yours are the eyes
​through which he looks compassion
on this world.

Yours are the feet
with which he walks to do good.
 
Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world.

Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are his body.

Christ has no body now on earth but yours."

​- St. Teresa of Avila
