Program Overview
St. Bart’s Growing In Faith Together (G.I.F.T.) Faith Formation program serves families with children in preschool- grade 5. We are interested in helping parents and their children grow in their faith by sharing resources, activities, and experiences that will provide a foundation to live as life-long disciples. We start the new school year with an Opening Kick-off Service project – making meat & cheese sandwiches for the Sandwich Project of MN. Sign up for the sandwich Project.
