St. James offers a holistic Faith Formation program that strives to meet the spiritual and intellectual needs of the children. We used an approach where the entire family is formed. Sacramental Preparation classes are offered on Wednesday and Thursday evenings.

Note: The Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix has the Restored Order for the Sacraments of Initiation. This means that children should receive Reconciliation in the 2nd grade and Confirmation/First Eucharist in the 3rd grade. We are willing and able to help children finish their Initiation Sacraments and encourage them to a continued conversion to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
