RELIGIOUS EDUCATION/FAITH FORMATION
Train up a child in the way they should go:
and when they are old,
they will not depart from it.
- Proverbs 22:6
Welcome to the SS Peter & Paul Religious Education/ Faith Formation (RE/FF) web page. The Faith Formation of the children here at SS Peter & Paul is very important to us, as we believe it to be a continuous life long process. As parents, you are the primary teachers of your children and we would like to journey along with you, giving you support and encouragement whenever it is needed. For more information, feel free to call us.
