Dear Parents, Grandparents, and Guardians,
It is that time of the year to start signing up for Faith Formation! This year we will be offering in person classes.
We will be offering faith formation classes for Kindergarten to grade 12. We encourage all students to register even if they have received their Sacraments of Initiation. (Confirmation and Eucharist) As Catholics, we are on a journey, and we are called to continue to grow in our faith each day of our lives. I hope that you and your families will continue to journey with us.
We do require two full years of faith formation for children to receive the sacrament of reconciliation, therefore it's encouraged to enroll children in kindergarten or no later than 1st grade. Preparations and the reception of First Reconciliation will take place in second grade. Confirmation preparation will begin in spring of second grade and be received in third grade, along with the preparation of the Sacrament of the Eucharist in Third grade. For students who are older who have not made the Sacraments there will be preparation classes available. See each grade for more information.
For those who are receiving the sacrament of Confirmation please print out the Confirmation Students Form. Under links and Forms on the right side of the page.
In addition to our Sacraments Programs, we have a lot of other programs being offered for grade school students, along with adult programs:
We look forward to journeying with you and your family this upcoming year, even with all the challenges. As always, we are here for you, so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let us know. And lastly please know that we are praying for you and your family!
God Bless,
Lisa Daugherty, Karen Brockway, Derick Alexandre, Fr. Chris Martel
