The Catholic Parishes in Waterloo are committed to collaborative ministry which enables us to share our gifts, talents, resources and opportunities for the benefit of the common good and the entire Catholic community.

The Waterloo Catholic Faith Formation Commission is a committee of the Pastoral Councils of the member parishes and operates according to a Constitution approved by the Councils. The Commission is an advisory body to the pastors of the four parishes of Waterloo. 

The Commission is the voice of the parish communities in catechetical planning, goal setting, and policy development in accord with the guidelines and policies established by the Archdiocesan Faith Formation Commission and the Office of Faith Formation and Education of the Archdiocese of Dubuque. 

Membership on the Commission consists of two representatives from each parish (one representative elected from the parish and one representative appointed by the Pastoral Council); one representative of the four parish pastors; and members of the Faith Formation Administrative Team who are not voting members.

The Commission normally meets seven times per year on the second Tuesday evening of the month (beginning with July) at 6:30pm in the Faith Formation Center in the Blessed Sacrament School building.
