General Information
Overview of Family Faith Formation Journey
Welcome to St. Elizabeth Seton’s Family Faith Formation program. We invite all families to join us on a dynamic journey of faith. The Family Faith Formation Staff is committed to supporting and equipping our families in their Domestic Church, where parents share the Catholic faith with their children by their living example.
“Catholic parents are called to form their family as a “domestic church,” a church in the home, where God is honored, His law is respected, prayer is a normal event, virtue is transmitted by word and example, and everyone shares the hopes, problems and sufferings of everyone else. All this is not to advocate a return to some outdated style of living: It is to return to the roots of human development and human happiness!”
– Saint Pope John Paul II
Vacation Bible School (VBS)
July 20-24, 2026
VBS is the BEST WEEK of the summer! At VBS children, entering grades K-5 in the fall, enjoy a week of faith and fun through high-energy opening and closing assemblies, Bible stories, music, crafts, games and theme related snacks that focus on Jesus, Christian virtues and values. Kids entering grade 6 through college are invited to join our VBS Leadership team. Adults leaders are needed too.
Our VBS theme is True North this summer. True North VBS takes kids on the ultimate Alaskan adventure where the northern lights shine over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and sparkling glaciers. As they trek the tundra, they’ll discover how easy it is to lose sight of what's true in our wild world today. Guiding them towards Jesus, True North VBS reveals that He is a faithful friend we can always trust. He is our True North!
