Mission Statement

The mission of the Faith Formation Ministry at St. James Cathedral is to bring people into an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ lived out in the Catholic Church. We are committed to serving the entire parish family; providing on-going faith formation at every level of parish life, through prayer, worship, knowledge of the faith, moral formation, service, and fellowship.

In our efforts to teach as Jesus taught, we strive to:

• Promote knowledge of the faith.
• Promote a knowledge of the meaning of the Liturgy and the Sacraments.
• Promote moral formation in Jesus Christ.
• Teach the Christian how to pray with Christ.
• Prepare the Christian to live in community and to participate actively in the life and mission of the Church.
• Promote a missionary spirit that prepares the faithful to be Christians in society.
