St. Mary of the Hills provides many educational opportunities for people of all ages.  We offer programs for youth and adults at every level of knowledge.  Whether you are a "beginner" in your faith journey, or are well on your way, consider joining us for a session that interests you. Please know that you need not be a parish member to participate in the formation programs we provide.

Each month, in the second week of the month, GIFT(Generations in Faith Together) sessions are held for all parishioners in the parish.  The meal, topic and individual breakout sessions are addressed to specific needs.  Scripture is incorporated in these topics and there are discussion as well as other opportunities for sharing our faith.  Adults of all ages continue to deepen their relationship with Christ and His Church.  GIFT is the primary formation program for children and adults alike!  Children who attend public school and wish to receive sacraments for the first time are expected to participate in the GIFT program. 

This year our overall theme is "We Are A Sacramental People". Registration is now taking place for Fall 2011. Sessions are offered one week per month, generally the second full week of the month.  Participants choose to attend one day, either Sunday 12:15 - 3:15 pm, Sunday 4-7 pm; Wednesday 6-9 pm (our high school friendly night); or Friday 6-9 pm.
