The Catholic Catechism defines Grace as the free and undeserved help that God gives us to respond to His call. Grace is a participation in the life of God.

It is our belief that formation in the faith and conversion to Jesus Christ takes place not only in the liturgy and classrooms, but also through active participation in the life of the church.

Beginning in the 2009-10 program year, all parish-based faith formation programs will require participation in “GRACE” (Growing Through Religious and Catechetical Experiences). GRACE events are opportunities to be with your St. Andrew faith community in liturgy, prayer, service, formation and fellowship.
