Children's Faith Formation

Register Now!
Welcome to Children’s Faith Formation at Holy Family Church! Our mission is simple - to help your child grow in relationship with Jesus and His Church. Our experienced catechists will help your child(ren) to:

  • develop and deepen their love for Jesus,
  • learn about what it means to be Catholic, and
  • understand the value of living their lives according to the Gospels.

We look forward to assisting you with your child's formation in the Catholic faith.

​Contact Dodie Seppi at [email protected] or 410-798-5680 with any questions.


The Healing Power of Prayer Original Play

Presented by Faith Formation Students on April 7, 2025

On April 7th, our Monday 7th Grade Faith Formation class presented to parents and fellow students The Healing Power of Prayer. This original play was created, written, and performed by the students themselves. Their play focused on the gifts of the Holy Rosary and God’s angels and saints, especially Archangel Raphael. Both are a special emphasis for their class this year. Thanks to the parents, students, and catechists for your support and guidance!
