Faith Formation: 1st through 5th grade is designed to help your children understand what Catholics believe and how to put those beliefs in practice. Religious Education provides a balance of doctrine, Scripture, and the liturgical seasons. Classes are held on Wednesday evenings. PreK/K Sunday School provides every child with a weekly lesson that focuses on the Sunday Gospel with storytelling, creative play, music, and hands-on activities.
Sacrament Preparation: Reconciliation and Communion is all about growth and conversion. Your child will truly celebrate the sacraments. In this journey they will be informed, formed, and transformed into the sacramental life of the Church. Two years of religion class is required. OCIA is a program for children 7 years of age or older that need Baptism.
Vacation Bible School: This summer, bring your kids to Vacation Bible School (TBA). Usually, the first or second week of June. Your children will love the high-energy games, cool crafts, awesome music, and entertaining skits.The fee includes a music CD and VBS shirt. Also, plenty of opportunities for your teens to earn service hours, starting three weeks prior to Vacation Bible School.
