Christian Formation for Children
We welcome all children, beginning in 3K, into our Christian Formation programming. Christian Formation is a wonderful way to introduce your child to our faith, and is a necessary component in order to receive sacraments.
Christian Formation classes for 3K, 4K & 5K are offered on Sundays from 8:15-9:15am. Classes for 1st-5th grade are offered on Sundays from 9:30-10:30am and Tuesdays from 6-7pm. Classes for the 2023-2024 CF year will begin September 17th/19th and go through April 21st/23rd.
Sacramental Preparation: First Reconciliation & First Eucharist
Children will prepare for these sacraments through participation in weekly Christian Formation classes or our GIFT family program, as well as two parent/child retreats. There is a sacramental fee of $65 that covers the cost of textbooks & other materials, as well as the two retreats.
