Jesus said, “Come after me and I will make you fishers of men”,
and
the apostles left their nets and followed Him.
Jesus tells us to GO out to evangelize, to MAKE disciples, to BAPTIZE them
in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and to TEACH them to
obey His commands. The Office of Catechesis and Sacramental Formation at St. James the Apostle focuses
on this Great Commission.
Faith formation is primarily the responsibility of the parents. Our parish
Catechesis and Sacramental Formation Program builds on this foundation and is an integral part
of the larger catechetical ministry of the Catholic Church.
The Office of Catechesis and Sacramental Formation is located in the Education Center next to the
Church at:
