General The Faith Formation team works in partnership with parishioners to strengthen and provide well-rounded, life-long Catholic faith formation for all. The Catholic Church recognizes that the parents have primary responsibility for the religious education of their children. It is within family life that children learn about God, love for others, share prayer, learn about sacrifice and service, and celebrate sacraments together-including the Sunday Eucharist each week. Elementary and Middle School Faith Formation The Faith Formation program geared for public and home-schooled children in grades one through eight is held on Wednesday evenings. Classes meet September through the beginning of May from 6:30 to 7:45pm. Sunday Morning Nursery The Sunday morning nursery for toddlers, ages 1 to 3 (12-36 months) is available year round during both masses. They will be cared for, play, pray, and begin to know what being in a faith community looks, sounds, and feels like. Sunday Morning Preschool and Kindergarten Our age 4 and 5 classes are held during the 8:45 and 10:30am masses. The curriculum offers opportunities where children are led with a hands-on approach to learn about God and the world. Children's Liturgy of the Word During Sunday morning masses children, grades K-4, will have the opportunity to hear and reflect on the Word together. Children will be invited, led by their catechist, to the chapel adjacent to the Worship space. Vacation Bible School Vacation Bible School is offered in the summer.
