Forming Disciples

Our work is to tend the slow fire of discipleship.


Discipleship at Holy Name is a lifelong journey which begins in the family. We offer formation opportunities for children and adults, for those who are raised Catholic and those brand new to the faith. No matter what walk of life you are from, there is a place for you here.

Your Leadership is Needed

  • We need leaders who outgrow the director.
  • We need leaders whom we can delegate to with trust.
  • We need leaders who can measure fruit, not applause.
  • We need leaders who accept that some seeds bloom long after we have gone.
