Faith formation pertains to the different ways that our church is catechizing the community. It is very important that Catholics understand the Catholic faith. For a person to fulfill the way of life that is required of a catholic. The person needs to understand what do we do and why we do it. It is not just about coming to Mass and recite the Creed, but living a catholic life to the fullest requires the person to understand what does the Creed, our profession of faith, means.

Here at Saint John the Baptist Catholic Church we offer Catechesis classes, First Communion and Confirmation preparation, and RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults). There are various retreats during the year, where the invited speakers will talk about different areas of our faith.

As part of our Spiritual growing, we invite the people to participate of Daily Mass and Holy Hour. There, we will listen to the Word of God, pray together and adore our Lord Jesus Christ present in the Eucharist.
