Curriculum

Children in Pre+K through Grade 8 follow the Pflaum Gospel Weeklies program, which is a traditional faith formation program committed to sharing the richness of our faith and building family values.  Each session includes stories, activities, scripture, prayer, discussion and reflection.  www.pflaumweeklies.com

Sacraments

The sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist ("First Communion") are typically celebrated in the 2nd grade.  Sacramental preparation begins in the 1st grade and enrollment in Faith Formation is required during both years of this two-year preparation period.  Attending workshops is also required.

The sacrament of Confirmation is typically celebrated in the 8th grade.  Sacramental preparation begins with enrollment in the 7th grade Faith Formation, and this is a two-year preparation period.  Other requirements include attending workshops, service projects, and the mandatory retreat.

(Older individuals can also prepare for these Sacraments of Initiation, via the R.C.I.A.)  Please don't hesitate to ask us any questions, about your particular situation.  We encourage everyone to become fully formed and participating Catholics!
