Children's Faith Formation

Our Children’s Faith Formation program is designed to help children grow in faith, identity, and understanding of the Catholic Church.
Sessions are held on designated Sunday mornings from 9:15-10:15 for children in grades K-8.
Sessions usually begin in late Sept-early Oct and end in early May. 
 

Sessions

CFF for K-1st grade: These are generally Kindergarteners and 1st Graders who have not completed 1st Communion. These children are also invited to participate in our Children’s Liturgy of the Word at 10:30 am Mass on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month.

1st Reconciliation /Communion: Generally, includes children ages 8-10. Children usually start in 2nd grade, and we welcome children up to 4th grade. It is important to note that at least one parent or guardian must attend with children enrolled as the sessions are a family catechesis.
 
CFF after First Communion: These are sessions that are a continuation of faith formation after completion of sacraments of 1st Reconciliation and 1st Communion for grades 3-4; The aim is to ground children in a living faith and gospel values with service project opportunities.

CFF 5th-6th grade: A continuation of CFF with the desire to continue nurturing a life of faith and action as they journey toward Confirmation. 
Confirmation Year 1 and 2: Includes youth from 7th- 8th grade.

Sacraments

First Holy Communion and Reconciliation
Our program of preparation welcomes the whole family to become a part of the process. With the help of our catechists, parents are guided through a beautiful bonding experience with their children learning about their Catholic Faith.  As such, there needs to be a consistent adult who can support the child's faith journey to participate in this program.

Children in 2nd Grade ordinarily sign up for First Reconciliation and First Communion, but children up to 4th grade are welcome to join if they have not completed the Sacrament. 

The formation for this program lasts an entire school year (September-May) with sessions 2-3 times per month on designated Sundays from 9:15-10:15 AM.  Please use the registration link above to register for the 2023-24 year.

Children's Confirmation 
The Sacrament of Confirmation is a crucial step in the faith journey of a young person. Our program is geared toward 7th and 8th graders, but high school-age youth are welcome. This program blends religious education, faith sharing, community service, and spiritual development in a way that is personal and fosters strong ties between the Confirmation candidates.

The formation for Confirmation involves a two-year program with sessions 2-3 times per month on Sundays from 9:15-10:15 am (September-May).
