Children & Family Faith Formation
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
First Day - September 18
10:45am - 12:15pm
Kindergarten through 8th Grade
High School Sacramental Preparation (OCIA for Teens)
Sacramental Preparation & OCIA for Children
St. Mary's works to share the fullness of the Catholic Faith with our parish's children and their parents through weekly Faith Formation classes throughout the school year! As parents are the first teachers of the Faith for their children, we seek to include and assist parents in their modelling of the Catholic Faith for their children in their daily lives. Our FF classes are designed to support parents of children from Kindergarten through High School by providing age-specific instruction for children with their peers. This includes two years of required instruction and preparation before children receive their Sacraments, typically receiving Reconciliation and First Eucharist in second grade, and Confirmation in eigth grade, although we also have special classes for children receiving Sacraments at a later age.How to Register:
We have made a few changes to our program this year. There are two options for your family to participate. Please make your selection on our registration form. See the options below:Option 1 - In-Person Family Formation
-
This option meets in person on Sunday mornings 10:45am-12:15pm at St. Mary's twice a month/every other week, with one lesson per month taking place at home (monthly assessments will be collected for accountability)
-
ALL parents are required to attend monthly gatherings at the same time as the children to receive their at-home lesson along with community and formation opportunities
-
ALL families are required to attend quarterly community gatherings
Option 2 - At-Home Family Formation
-
This option allows parents the freedom to teach their children the materials in the comfort of their own home with flexibility
-
St. Mary's will provide you with all of the materials that you need to teach your children at home
-
Monthly assessments will be collected for accountability
-
ALL families will be included in the monthly at-home lessons in addition to their regular coursework and all parents are invited to join for the monthly parent sessions in person
