• Dear Parent or Guardian,

    We are excited for you and your entire family to join us for the 2025-2026 faith formation programs at St. Joan of Arc. This new family enrollment replaces duplicative efforts for families with children/students across the spectrum from Pre-K through High School. 

    Though this is “just an enrollment form”, our desire is to simplify your parent work effort and demonstrate our renewed efforts to minister to and with the whole family.  

    All communications are sent through Flocknote, therefore an up-to-date family email address and phone number are necessary for effective communication of class details and information.

    This enrollment form is for the whole family, for students of all grades Pre-K through 12th Grade, for the academic year and it includes preparations for the Sacraments. Additional paperwork may be required for sacrament preparation classes.

    Also, we will have a retreat day for the children before the Sacraments are received. More information to come!

  • Volunteer Opportunities

  • We couldn't provide these programs without the help of willing adults to lead and show up for the children.  While we have been preparing our leaders and teachers this year, we are always in search of substitutes that are able to step in at a moments notice, when necessary.  Are you or a family member interested in being a SUBSTITUTE leader for this year?
  • If yes, is the family member Safe Environment Trained within the last 5 years?
  • Prayer is the most powerful gift we could give our families! We are in need of volunteers who are willing to consistently prayer for our program, teachers, and families. Are you or a family member interested in being a part of the prayer team?
  • Sunday Faith Formation Sessions ONLY: We are in need of a group of volunteers who are willing to help set up the parent sessions by making coffee and setting up the necessary items. Are you or a family member interested in being a part of the hospitality team?

  • Family Commitment to the Faith Formation Program

    Below are policies that families agree to abide by as part of partaking in this program.

  • Parent/Guardian Responsibilities: In addition to being the primary educators in the faith, parents by their enrollment into the Faith Formation agree to support the process in the following ways:  

     

    Domestic Church: It is important to recognize that the formation leaders and teachers assist the domestic church (your household) in training the children in the faith; they cannot replace you, nor is this faith formation program sufficient to fully pass on the faith to the next generation.  Please walk with your child every step of the way and be sure to share the beauty of the faith with them on a daily basis.

     

    Attendance: Attendance is important for all families as it provides consistency and prioritizes the faith over worldly things.  For children in Sacramental Preparation, absences may result in a delay of receiving sacraments.  In addition, all meetings and retreats are mandatory. Please contact a department leader when your child misses a class for the make-up.   

     

    Sunday Faith Formation Parent Attendance: A parent or guardian is strongly encouraged to attend the parent session every time the child is in a children’s session. Building community is an important aspect of the church, it is best if the same person or persons can be present for the sessions. 

  • Program Payment

    It is with joy that the church offers the above programs for the growth in faith of our youth and families.  After you submit your registration a link will pop up. A suggested donation of $25.00/child will assist us in offsetting program expenses.  Thank you, in advance, for your generosity.
