Faith Formation:  -the new title for our Religious Education program, more accurately describes who we are and brings us in sync with our deanery brothers and sisters.  Our faith is a daily journey of discoveries which form our bond with our Heavenly Father. May we continously strive to further our faith formation!

Mission Statement:

“Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”-Mark  10:13-16

Welcome to Saint Mary Faith Formation where we strive to teach children that a gracious and loving Father welcomes us into the Catholic faith.

We work with the entire family to be sure the children have a positive experience. Regular attendance at the Sunday liturgy is an integral part of their education.  For older youths there is a Teen Mass on the first Sunday of every month where they are encouraged to worship with their peers and participate in the youth ministry.

“We should not stay away from our assembly, as is the custom of some, but encourage one another, and this all the more as you see the day drawing near.”- Hebrews 10:25

SERVICE - community service is our life calling and all students are strongly encouraged to carry out a service project of their intiative that connects with one or more of the  7 Themes of Catholic Social Teaching.

Our staff and volunteers are available to meet with parents and students to address any concerns.

Please feel free to email the office should you have any questions or concerns: StMaryPortlandFaith@gmail.com
