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 2010-2011 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 THE MORAL LIFE this year. Monthly Faith Formation is held the 1st Sunday (10:30 am-12:00 pm) of each month instead of weekly faith formation. The Family Faith Formation includes a snack, music, crafts, learning centers and fun for everyone in the family. Our first session will be held September 12, 2010.

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 Nursery in the Family Life Center.

First Reconciliation (Confession) and First Eucharist (Communion) Overview

Children in second (2nd) grade or older and enrolled in Faih Formation prepare with their parents for First Reconciliation in the Fall and then First Eucharist in the Spring. Parents along with the children being prepared will attend a meeting where they are trained and receive materials to prepare their child.
