Religious Education Registration

ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS:

FAMILY FORMATION (Ages 4-12 & Parents): Our Family Formation program is a fresh approach to religious education and sacramental preparation. It is designed to provide parents with the tools they need to share the Good News and the beauty of the Catholic Faith with their children and to form them into true disciples of Jesus Christ.

Once a month, families gather at the parish for lunch followed by hands-on, multi-sensory, age appropriate lessons for parents,teens, and elementary-aged children. Our free nursery cares for children under 4.

Parents leave their in-parish class with training in the Truths of the Faith and a packet of three engaging, down-to-earth lessons they teach their children at home. Don’t worry, they’re designed to be easy and enjoyable! They can even be used as a guide to faith-filled discussions in the car, or over a meal. It can really be that simple.
