Children’s Faith Formation

(Pre-Kindergarten through 7th Grade)

Purpose

To teach children about their Catholic faith, and to prepare them for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.  To convey to students their dignity as sons and daughters of the Father, made in His image.  To strengthen students' faith, so they develop lifelong habits of attending Mass and participating in the Sacramental life of the Church.

Activities

Children are registered for Tuesdays or Wednesdays, whichever day works best for each family.  Class begins at 4:00 PM and ends at 5:30 PM.  The school year 2024-2025 will begin on September 3, 2024 and end on April 30, 2025.  Pre-kindergarten and kindergarten share the same classroom.  Many lessons use manipulatives during this early stage of learning.  Grades first through seventh have a traditional classroom setup with small class sizes and dedicated catechists.
