Kindergarten-Sixth Grade

Children’s Faith Formation (sometimes called Religious Education, “Sunday School” or “CCD”) is designed to support children in their desire to learn and live their Catholic faith. We believe that it is in the partnership between the parish and the family that faith is most effectively passed on to our children. For 2007-2008 we have various options for your busy schedules.

 

Monthly Family Faith Formation Option

The whole family is invited to register and share their faith together. A monthly opportunity for all parish families to gather and focus on events of Church life such as: our Catholic Faith, our Catholic history, the faith of the Church, and how we profess our faith as we study the topic of PRAYER this year. Monthly Faith Formation is held the 1st Sunday (10:30 am-12:30pm) of each month instead of weekly faith formation. The Family Faith Formation includes a meal, music, crafts, learning centers and fun for everyone in the family.

Preschool, Elementary, Middle School, High School, Parents, and Grandparents are invited to attend.
Childcare will be Provided for the Littlest members of our parish in the Activity Center.

 

Weekly Faith Formation Options

We offer weekly faith formation in addition to our monthly family session.

  • Weekly Wednesdays (4:15pm-5:30pm)

  • Weekly Sundays (8:55-10:10am)
