Faith Formation for Preschool - Grade 12
2008-2009

Faith Formation is provided for all children in preschool through high school.  This program is designed to pass on the teachings of the faith and to continue the process of initiation into the fullness of life in Christ.  Registration is held year-round.  Classes begin the weekend after Labor Day and end in May.  Please contact Lynda Monckton, Director of Faith Formation, for more information. 

Preschool - Three and four year old children grow in their understanding and love of God through stories, songs, games, and activities. This fun-filled series provides faith experiences for the child and explores God's gifts of ourselves, creation, family, and our Church community.

Children must be three years old by September 1, 2008.   Classes are on Sunday mornings from 8:50-10:00 AM. Refer to the schedule below for class dates.  Parents must walk their child to the classroom before class and pick up their child after class on the covered walkway between the Parish Center and the Church.

Intergeneration Faith Formation (IGN) is an opportunity for families to gather as community to grow in faith and knowledge.  Classes meet the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month.  The evening begins at 6:00 PM in the parish center for a simple meal, then moves to an opening prayer at 6:30 PM, an opening talk or activity, then break-out sessions in smaller, age-appropriate faith sharing and learning activities.  A closing activity and prayer ends the evening at 8:00 PM. 

IGN is for all ages, from babies to grandparents.  Children must be accompanied by a parent at each session.
