Dear Faith Formation Families,

We hope you enjoy the last few weeks of summer but would like you to take a moment to look towards the upcoming Youth Faith Formation year.

We are very excited for this upcoming year.  We are pleased with the changes we made to the curriculum and calendar over the last few years and will continue with the Family of Faith curriculum for K-6 students. Our schedule will also remain the same as it offers  a better balance of time between school, church and family.

K-6 Grades: Our program will be using the curriculum, A Faith of Family - Volume I: The Creed. We will learn about events that took place thousands of years ago. But the story of salvation is not just in the past: it continues to take place in our lives in a deeply personal way. God has called us each by name -- this is the story of salvation history.  This is our story!

This program will consist of three components:
One Family of Faith night for families.  Children must be accompanied by a parent. Family of Faith Nights consist of social gatherings, lessons, arts and crafts and student led prayer services.
Two student only sessions using the Family of Faith curriculum
At home study.
Each family will need to purchase one Family of Faith Parent guide for $10.

Middle School: The middle school curriculum is based on the diocesan objectives for 7th and 8th grade with emphasis on the person of Jesus, making moral decisions, sin and practicing virtues.  A middle school religion program should provide opportunities for community building, reflection, and activity while teaching concrete lessons about the faith.  Our program will use lessons from www.eqsaints.com.

High School: High school will meet twice a month in grade level classes: 9th - Catholic Basics 101; 10th - Confirmation; 11th - Catholic Social Teaching and 12th - Disciples Way. We are happy to offer our meal prior to the class as that is a great time to build community with the high school students.

2022-2023 Faith Formation Fees:  The cost will be $40 per child.  The food fee for high school students who use our meal option is $35.
