Faith Formation

Grades K-5

Classes will begin Tuesday, September 19, 2023.

Our program uses “Finding God” from Loyola Press as our textbook. Throughout Finding God, children engage with Scripture and prayerfully consider the essential connections between God’s Word and their own lives. All second-year students preparing to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion are presented a Bible as part of their formation as well.

Students attend in-person classes on Tuesdays from 4-5 p.m. in our parish school classrooms. These lessons are intended to be interactive, filled with Scripture quotes, crafts, etc., and are designed to reinforce and deepen your family’s understanding and appreciation of our Catholic faith. Families also are given opportunities to gather with our Tuesday students for Faith Celebrations to help bring our Catholic Faith and traditions home with your children.

If Tuesdays from 4-5 p.m. do not work for your family, please inquire about our Family Faith Formation. This program includes monthly family of faith gatherings but allows for at-home instruction of the weekly lessons completed as a family.

Registrations for the 2023-2024 School Year are due by Friday, September 8, 2023. There is a registration fee of $85 for one child, $150 for two, and $225 for three children. Please download and complete the form below and return to the parish office with your payment.
