"We do not presuppose the faith in people but propose it to our people. Faith is not maintained automatically. It is never 'finished business' that we can simply take for granted. The life of faith has to be constantly renewed. And since faith is an act that comprehends all the dimensions of our existence, it also requires constantly renewed reflection and witness."
Pope Benedict XVI in "Gospel, Catechesis, Catechism" -
Lifelong Faith Formation at St. Benedict's
Lifelong Faith Formation at St. Benedict's -
For each believer, growing in the faith is the challenge of a lifetime, from cradle to grave. The life of the parish reflects this. There are programs, activities, challenges and opportunities for people in every stage of life, from preparation for infant baptism to preparation for a holy death. In practice, the programs fall into the categories of children's catechesis, high school youth ministry, young adult and university ministry, adult faith formation, and programs for new Catholics and returning Catholics.

"Faith formation proclaims and reaffirms God’s saving love in Jesus Christ. It makes the initial conversion ripen and helps Christians give a more complete meaning to their existence. Faith formation develops in them a mentality of faith in keeping with the Gospel, to the point of gradually coming to feel, think and act like Christ.”
