Children's Formation
A program for children, Kindergarten through Grade 5, our Faith Formation classes focus on the baptismal call to become followers of Jesus Christ. With an emphasis on Scripture and the traditions of the Catholic faith, students participate in the community's worship, prayer and service to others.
Parents, the first and best teachers in the faith, are supported by catechists working in partnership with them in the religious education of their children. Love of Christ and the Church, frequent reception of the Sacraments, prayer, and service are encouraged as parents fulfill the obligation to their children in the promises made at baptism.
Adult volunteers are needed as catechists (teachers and co-teachers), substitute catechists and assistants to help with planning, publicizing or arranging activities.

Homeschool Formation
K to 8th grades
In this program, parents will work with their child(ren) on their grade-level faith formation. It is best to set a regular day and time to stick to throughout the year, but there is flexibility when needed. Home study is offered for students in grades kindergarten through 8th grade.
The Faith and Life Series from Ignatius Press leads students in 1st-8th grades to the Person of Jesus Christ and then immerses them in the Mystery of Christ, fostering dispositions in which students desire communion with God through Jesus in the Holy Spirit, a communion in truth, charity, and mercy. Our Kindergarteners use the Allelu! curriculum.
Parents must submit completion forms for each semester.
