Christian Formation is an integral part of the formational curriculum at St. Patrick Interparish School.
It offers learning experiences that respond to the school's mission and philosophy of helping students "mature into creative Christ-centered people." It strives to promote an environment where the Gospel message is proclaimed and lived; where an atmosphere of love, prayer, justice and peace is fostered; and where a spirit of generous service to the community is encouraged.
This is accomplished in several ways including faculty development and support, supervision of the Religion curriculum, school liturgies, the Christian Service Program, and parent/student support.
