No child or family will be denied Faith Formation or Sacraments due to financial difficulties! If your family is in need of tuition assistance, contact Mrs. Joni Smith, Director of Religious Education.
Families are asked to plan carefully when scheduling other activities, so that our children will not be missing classes and will be assured a solid Faith Formation foundation without gaps in faith or understanding.
Faith Formation is intended for all children from pre-school through High School. (High School students will continue their formation through our Anchor Youth Group.) Children who attend a Catholic day school receive their Religious Education through the school. All others should be registered in our parish Faith Formation program. Families who choose to homeschool their children may do so, but are still expected to register though the parish Faith Formation program, and to proceed in coordination with the Director of Religious Education and Pastor, using materials approved by the USCCB and the Bishop of Cleveland. Homeschooling will require meetings and testing periodically throughout the school year. We are here to support and assist our families in many ways!
Please note that registration and fees for sacramental preparation sessions are in addition to Faith Formation, and calendars will be provided upon registration for the sacramental preparation programs. A child is not automatically registered for the sacraments at a given age!
Consult the Faith Formation Family Handbook for additional information. If you have questions about any of these learning experiences, the Faith Formation program itself, or the sacramental programs, you may contact (Mrs Joni Smith, Director of Religious Education at (330) 425-8141 X 110.
Students new to Ss. Cosmas and Damian Parish or Faith Formation must provide a COPY of their Baptismal Certificate.
