Youth Faith Formation – 1st to 8th Grade

The Goal of Faith Formation

Faith Formation is a continuing process of coming to know the love of God and letting that love flow to others in thought, word, and action.

Scripture based lessons lead young people to know the plan of God who creates us, redeems us, and leads us in love to true happiness.

Sacramental Preparation

Ordinarily children are prepared for First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion in the second grade. Parents and catechists collaborate in this preparation.

Students are prepared in the seventh and eighth grades for Confirmation. This preparation includes Scripture study, service work, and a retreat in the 8th grade.

Special Sacramental Preparation

Older children who have not had Faith Formation but whose parents wish them to receive Baptism, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation will be asked to participate in special classes at a time other than ordinary Faith Formation classes.

Children’s Liturgy of the Word

Children’s Liturgy of the Word is a catechesis on the Sunday Gospel just for children. They have their own special class during the Liturgy of the Word on Sundays.
