About us
The Eastside Catholic Faith Formation Ministry was formed in 2008 as a collaboration between seven eastside Erie churches. The pastors desired to work together and provide one program for all their children in order to keep class sizes a bit larger, employ one full-time leader instead of several part-time leaders, and pool their catechist resources.
Holy Rosary became the site for the classes and the home for the faith formation office. The current parishes supporting the program are: Holy Rosary, Holy Trinity, Our Mother of Sorrows, St. John the Baptist, St. Stanislaus.
St. Hedwig and St. Patrick were original members of the collaboration but have since withdrawn or merged with other parishes.
