Please note that some of our programs have been modified for a time 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.
​Remember our special Mass on Wednesday, September 2 at 6:00 p.m.!
Mass will be held outdoors at Bishop England High School—everyone is welcome!
Stay afterward to meet our Faith Formation volunteers.
​First Communion families can pick up their home-study materials as well.
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.
