Welcome to the Crozet Catholic Christian Formation Program. This year (2022-2023) we will be transitioning into an in-person program. This means we need volunteers to offer their talents and time. Please say "Yes" on the Registration Form, and know that we truly appreciate your time and that "many hands make light work". Our goal is to continue the spiritual and catechistic growth of our community. We walk this journey together hand in hand with our children and fellow disciples to receive and share Jesus' Love.

To register for our Christian Formation programs for youth and adults, see below.
Youth: We believe that parents are the primary religious educators of their children. By their vocation, they are officially charged with the spiritual care of their child’s formation as Catholics. We believe that our role is to assist parents in this obligation by providing learning materials as well as opportunities for the children to be with their peers for educational and/or service experiences. To that end, we rely on Virtus trained adults to lead those gatherings. Please contact us if you would like to volunteer, and let us know if you are already Virtus-trained or are willing to participate in Virtus training. Information about this (https://richmonddiocese.org/registering-for-an-upcoming-virtus-training-program/) we are Richmond, VA (Diocese), we may also be hosting a training for our volunteers. Contact: Nicole Yoensky - nicoley@olrcrozet.org
We work with families to prepare their children for First Penance, First Communion, and Confirmation.
Adults/RCIA: We encourage you to learn more about our faith in whatever ways are most comfortable for you, and we welcome you and stand ready to answer any questions you may have. Throughout the year we welcome those who are considering beginning the process of initiation and coming into full communion with the Church through the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA).
Infant Baptism: This preparation is for families seeking Baptism for their infants or preschool children ages 6 and younger.
