DISCIPLES CREATE DISCIPLES

Jesus Called the Original 12 to follow Him. They did not know what that would mean, but they said "Yes". When Jesus was ascended into heaven, he left us a continued mission:

Kerygma Konnection Retreat

This is a Discipleship Retreat and a great opportunity for all St. Patrick Adults in ministry or want to share your gifts with our Parish.  This is day will help your relationship with God, which never ends or gets old!  Having a relationship with God always brings us JOY and renewal!  


Why a retreat? We are all on a journey of faith. In a world that values productivity over meaning, our relationship with God can get overlooked, especially when we have the daily pressures of living and raising a family in front of us.


God cares about what we care about. He is not blind to our needs, nor dismissive of our struggles. We have a God who draws close to us and walks with us, prioritizing relationships above all things. This retreat is Jesus' invitation to Come and See.

Kerygma Konnection Retreat for Parents

Sacrament Pathways

Sacrament Pathways is a family-centered formation designed to facilitate a personal encounter with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and to sustain a lifelong development of faith within the family. We are all at different points on our faith journey. This shift to a greater focus on parents as the primary educators of our faith enables us to create a path forward that best meets the needs of your family with our resources that includes both at-home and at church experiences.


Families are encouraged not to take this step simply because your child is the "right age" but to consider if now is the right time for your child and your family. If your child is ready to prepare for the sacraments and you are ready to accept the responsibility of helping your child  fulfill the requirements, then please sign up for the retreat date that is right for you!


Remember: You are not alone! We are here to walk this journey with you, just as we all walk with Jesus. We know that together, as a faith family, we will be able to preserve our beautiful Catholic faith and traditions for generation to come.

What We Offer:

RCIA adapted for children- If you have a child or children 7 years or older who need to be baptized, they will be fully initiated into the Church and receive Baptism, First Eucharist, and Confirmation. Parents and children complete sacrament preparation together.


Reconciliation (Confession) and Eucharist (First Communion)- As you register your child for Faith Formation, you'll notice the questions: "Is your child ready to prepare for the sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist?" View the chart above to see if you think your child is ready for these sacraments.


Teen Confirmation - Teens are part of the St. Patrick Youth (SPY) ministry. Parents/Sponsors and Teens complete Confirmation Readiness together.


Lifelong Faith Formation opportunities - If you and your family have already received these sacraments and want to grow as disciples - we offer Discipleship small groups.


If you have any questions, please contact Nancy Longo, Director of Faith Formation at ff@stpatrickhutto.org or Luisa Lerma (Spanish) ffadmin@stpatrickhutto.org.

The Sacraments:

Gifts of Faith

Through the sacraments, Heaven comes, not just to visit, but to live with us and in us. In the sacraments we are graced.


Living a sacramental life is the great gift and calling of every Catholic. In a busy and demanding world, sometimes we forget how powerful and healing they can be and how much we really need them.


Even if you and your family have received sacraments, come and explore in greater depth the goodness of the Lord.
