Faith Formation Program

Daily prayer and weekly Mass attendance with the family are gifts a parent gives to their child as they grow and nurture a life long Faith in their child.

The Faith Formation program is offered to all children in Kindergarten through 9th grade. The program runs from Mid-September to the First Sunday in May each year.

Grades K, 1-7 use the Christ Our Life series or Pflaum Gospel Weeklies. Each year we build on their knowledge from the previous year. Attendance at class each week is important as much sharing and interacting takes place within the classroom. It is required that students attend each grade level of religious education as they grow in their faith and prepare for their sacraments.

We take pride in working with our children who are preparing for the sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist in Grade 2. We place an emphasis on the family coming together to prepare as well as celebrating these wonderful moments in their children’s lives.

In grade 8 as they begin the initial phase of Confirmation preparation, they follow Part 1 of the Chosen Program. In Grade 9 they complete the final phase of Confirmation preparation with Chosen Program, Part II.  It is through this process that students become engaged with scripture in finding ways to problem solve today’s situations and problems.

Students are asked to complete a total of 20 service hours – 10 hours in grades 7 and 10 more in grade 8; service both in the parish and local community are encouraged.

Students are given the opportunity to make their own faith commitment through the Sacrament of Confirmation – the reception usually takes place in the Spring of 9th grade.
