Greetings from Sacred Heart! 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 the changes made for this upcoming year. Please welcome Sena Sledd, our new Director of Youth Faith Formation. We are pleased with the changes we made to the curriculum and calendar and it will now be K-5 students, 6th- 8th, and 9th-12th. There have been some changes to our schedule, as it offers a better balance of time between school, church and family. We are also implementing a Middle School and High School Youth Group for this upcoming Faith Formation year.   

K-5 Grades: Our program is now grades kindergarten through 5th grade and will be using the curriculum, A Faith of Family - Volume III: Life in Christ. The first 3 Wednesdays of each month. This year focuses on moral life and what it means to live the way God wants us to live. From the Ten Commandments to the Beatitudes to the Great Commandment, throughout salvation history, God has provided us with models for living virtuously. Ultimately, He sent us Christ Himself, who gives us the perfect model of holiness and calls us to live like Him and in Him.  

Middle School: The middle school will meet twice on Wednesdays each month. The curriculum is based on the diocesan objectives for 6th, 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 and more. We will be diving deeper into the bible for these middle schoolers to really get an understanding. 

High School: High school will meet twice on Wednesdays each 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. 

Youth Group:  Youth group will meet the second Sunday of each month: Middle School from 5:00-6:00 PM and High School from 6:00-7:00 PM.  Our Youth groups will focus on fellowship, community and service.

2023-2024 Faith Formation Fees:  The cost will be $40 per child.  The additional food fee for high school students who use our meal option is $35.
