K-8 Faith Formation

Our Faith Formation Mission

We strive to assist children and young people in developing a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ. Strengthened by the celebration of the Eucharist, as well as the witness of family life, students will be encouraged to serve God and others as disciples.

About Our Program

Saint Paul of the Cross Parish is partnering with South Hills Catholic Academy to provide an engaging Faith Formation program for our students.

Parish volunteers work in collaboration with SHCA teachers to serve students in grades K-8.

We're adopting the Spirit of Truth curriculum by Sophia Institute, a program designed by Catholic master teachers, to deliver students a meaningful encounter with our faith.

We offer two catechetical options, allowing you to choose the method that works best for you and your family. 
  • In person classes: Mondays, 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm at South Hills Catholic Academy (Saint Winifred Church)
  • Home-Based program: Parents who elect to utilize this program are provided the resources and materials to teach the curriculum at home.
