At his installation as the Archbishop of Newark, Cardinal Tobin said that the biggest challenge the church faces today is the chasm between life and faith.  “Faith… It’s who you are.  It’s how you see.  It’s how you act.  It means that what I believe influences the way that I live.”  

Looking at these signs of the times, this is why lifelong faith formation is critical not just in the education of the faith, but also, of the formation and integration into our daily lives and that of our families.

Engaging in the paradigm shift from the reliance of the child-centered school model to a vibrant faith formation for the whole parish community, we believe, addresses this need.
