Elementary Faith Formation Grades 1-5

Mandatory Parent Meeting for all Elementary Faith Formation Parents on Tuesday, August 25 at 6pm in the Parish Hall.

Please read all faith formation sections of the website that relate to the program/s
in which you are registering your child/ren, before you register.

All parents & guardians of new and returning Elementary Faith Formation students must attend the initial meeting of the school year in the parish hall on August 25 @ 6pm. We will provide additional details and information about program requirements and policies.

We will be using the Word of Life curriculum through Augustine Institute. This program offers great content through interactive readings, games, videos, quizzes and more.  Each student will be placed in a class with a Catechist who will be available for instruction, resources, and additional help.  Students’ progress will also be tracked throughout the year; there are three formal book checks scheduled to assure students are keeping on task and to help prevent anyone from falling behind.  A calendar of lessons will be provided so the child knows by which date each lesson should be completed. There will also be two Family Nights, three Family Prayer, & two Parent Nights throughout the year; attendance for these events are required for all registered students. The dates and times for these events are on the Faith Formation calendar posted below.  

For those students who will be participating in our Sacramental Preparation (Eucharist 1 and Eucharist 2), additional requirements are as follows:

MASS REQUIREMENT: All Catholics above the age of reason are obliged to attend Mass every Sunday, and we expect our children who are preparing for their sacraments to joyfully participate each week with their family. They will be required to have a Mass attendance card stamped by hospitality ministers after every Sunday Mass. When traveling, they will need to get the presiding priest at the parish at which they attend Mass to sign a bulletin.

Eucharist 1 (E1):

An additional sacrament workbook, Blessed: First Reconciliation through Dynamic Catholic publication.  Parents of E1 students are to complete a Meet & Greet with a parish staff member.  These meetings will take place in person and will be no longer than 30 minutes.  Parents will also need to attend the E1 Retreat; the date for this can be found on the Faith Formation calendar below.  

Eucharist 2 (E2):

An additional sacrament workbook, Blessed: First Communion through Dynamic Catholic publication.
