“Our generation will show that it can rise to the promise found in each young person when we know how to give them space. This means that we have to create the material and spiritual conditions for their full development; to give them a solid basis on which to build their lives; to guarantee their safety and their education to be everything they can be..”
Pope Francis

Christ gave the Church a teaching mission to help everyone “know, love, and serve God.” Faith Formation at Saint Gregory the Great is dedicated to offering faith-filled education for children so they will be well-equipped to answer God’s call to holiness and to enrich their personal relationship with Him.
