Watch the introduction to our children and youth faith formation programs for 2020-21 and scroll down for additional information!
Registration for 2020-21 is now closed.
Please contact Dr. Chris Diffenderfer, Director of Faith Formation, Fernando Cartagena, Director of Youth Ministry, or Jen Wilson, Coordinator of Children’s Ministries Ministries if you would still like to have your child or teen participate.
Please note that some of our programs have been modified to accommodate the precautions and restrictions we need to take in light of the coronavirus. Those changes are reflected in the descriptions of each program below (in red). We will be working to follow the guidelines issued by the diocese, local government, and health organizations, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC, as we continue our Faith Formation Programs.
The Diocese of Charleston requires that a waiver is completed for every child who participates in Faith Formation and other events. Please complete the waiver and return it by email to the parish secretary, Rosemary Vatalaro or mail to the parish office at 225 Seven Farms Drive, Suite 100, Daniel Island, SC 29492.
