Pre-K3 - 5th Grade Family Faith Formation
Schedules:
Meetings begin Wednesday, September 25 or Sunday, September 29
Sundays meet 9:25am – 10:20am THE SUNDAY SESSION IS NOW FULL
- Wednesdays meet 4:45pm – 5:45pm
See below for information about First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion preparation.
The family gathers once per month for prayer, breaking open the Word, and an age-appropriate lesson.
Two options for teaching the children beyond the monthly meetings:
- You, as a family, gather in your home and go over the weekly lessons. We provide all the lessons and support to help you succeed. By doing the lessons together, you have an opportunity to learn what your child is learning and reignite your faith.
- Or, children can attend the weekly Wednesday class option. This DOES NOT replace the Family Faith Formation session but is in addition to it. We will offer grade-specific, weekly classes on the other weeks of the month when there is no Family Faith Formation gathering.
Educational resources
We are committed to helping you succeed in bringing faith formation into your home!
