Beginning Friday, August 5, 2022, participate in a 15-week multi-series journey to deepen your knowledge on the mystery of the Holy Eucharist. Gain a better understanding on the source and summit of the Christian life. That way, next time you are asked to explain it, you will be able to share this profound mystery in a way that is pleasing to God.

Registration for Sacramental Preparation will close on Sunday, August 28. Families are required to participate in A Family of Faith to receive Sacraments. This includes students in 1^st,  2^nd grade and 7^th, 8^th Grade.

 

Registration for A Family of Faith will remain open and can be joined at anytime during the Religious Education year. This includes students in 3^rd through 6^th grade. 

Registration for A Family of Faith is included in the standard Religious Education registration form. 

What is A Family of Faith? It is a four-year program that takes families through the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

A Family of Faith will equip parents with the knowledge and the practices to confidently catechize their children at home and instill a Catholic Identity within their family. Monthly, parents will meet for a catechist lead lesson where they will receive the practices, knowledge, and confidence to share and live the Catholic identity with their families at home using the resources provided by program for that month. The goal is to develop your home into a “domestic church” where the Catholic Identity is rooted in your family, not just through information, but through an authentic example of a love for God.

For more information please attend one of the following parent meetings happening this month:
