Register for 2026-27 Faith Formation Here

Our Apple Valley Catholic K-12 Faith Formation team is committed to forming disciples and to growing faith for all ages.  Our goal is for every individual to encounter Jesus and to grow into a deeper personal relationship with Him.  We rely on the Holy Spirit as our guide and inspiration to connect Faith, Scripture, and the Sacraments in bringing meaning and purpose into our lives.

Our program is based on relational ministry using a variety of instructional models to meet people where they are. We use small groups to engage learners and large groups to build community.  We strive to provide hands-on, engaging, and relevant activities. 

Our students don't just learn about faith. They practice it. Our teams use a wide variety of curriculum strategies to provide authentic opportunities to learn together, to pray together, to serve together, and to share faith questions in a safe, sacred space.

Formal Faith Formation and sacramental preparation is offered to students in Grades K - 8. Sessions are offered with varied length and frequency appropriate to each age group.  Visit the page for high school students to learn about our Teen LIFT option for high school!
