FAITH FORMATION Dedicated to inspiring our children and young adults in the Catholic faith and tradition, the St. Veronica Faith Formation Program has been instructing our youth since the early years of the Parish. Included in the religious education of our children are the two-year sacramental preparation programs for First Holy Communion and Confirmation. Classes are held on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings for grades 1-6 and on Wednesday evenings for grades 7-8. Confirmation at St. Veronica is conferred in the 9th grade. In addition to the classes taught by our dedicated volunteer catechists, the Faith Formation Program strives to create a family atmosphere and inclusiveness with the rest of the Parish community by encouraging participation in Parish ministries and activities.

The second purpose, is to support the various athletic programs of St. Veronica School. This also includes the participation of the Religious Education Program in the Athletic Department. In order to accomplish these purposes, the St. Veronica Men's Club participates in various fundraisers throughout the year.
