Our youth faith formation program sets the foundation for a strong and loving relationship between each child and Jesus. In collaboration with families, children encounter Jesus, grow in his word, and become joyful missionary disciples.

The goal of our PreK/K formation program is to introduce children to Jesus and stories of the Bible. Students hear stories, learn about Jesus, and participate in related games and crafts. Additionally, this creates a early relationship with the Church as a place of community and love. This program is not offered for the 2021-2022 year.

Typically Confirmation prep is for students in grades 7 & 8. However, students in high school are welcome to participate. As a two year program, students are expected to have an attendance record of 80% or higher across the two years. The Confirmation prep students are the Faith Formation Mass lectors and are examples for the youth in the faith formation program.

Confirmation year students are expected to have 13 service hours and 2 Adoration hours prior to Confirmation.

Classes meet on Sundays at 9:30am and lead directly into 11am Mass to continue to build their relationship with Christ in the vital middle school years.

First Communion and Reconciliation is typically given when a child is at age of reason (7 years old) or 2nd grade. The First Communion and Reconciliation program is a two year preparation program and, therefore, it is ideal to start students in grade 1. As with all sacramental prep years, an attendance requirement of 80% must be met across the two years.

The first year of sacramental prep, students learn basic prayers, spend quite a bit of time studying Genesis which helps when learning about reconciliation and communion. The second year of sacramental prep, students complete their First Reconciliation studies and sacrament in the Fall. The remaining portion of the year focuses on First Communion and ends with the sacrament.

Classes meet Mondays, 5:30-7pm

Although sacraments are not typically given in these years, the formation between grades 3-6 is vital to the life-long relationship with Christ. During these years, students do various Bible studies, learn how to pray the rosary, discuss social justice issues, learn different Catholic teachings, and how to live a Catholic life.

Grades 3-6 meet on Mondays, 5:30-7pm
