Children’s Faith Formation
The Children’s Faith Formation (CFF) program provides catechesis in preparation for receiving the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion for those students Grades 1 – 5 attending public school.
Children generally begin formation when in first grade but may begin in any grade. The program is comprised of a three-year process:
-
Year 1– focuses on foundational faith formation and introduces children to key concepts and prayers before they begin the formal preparation for Reconciliation and First Communion.
-
Year 2– prepares students for the Sacrament of Reconciliation
-
Year 3 -prepares students for the Sacrament of First Holy Communion.
Understanding that parents are the first catechists of their child(ren), our goal is to support families in their continued faith journey. Monthly parent meetings offer catechesis to partner with families in the development and formation of their children’s faith. As part of the curriculum, families are to attend weekly Mass, participate in special liturgical celebrations and parish events.
Prayerfully consider volunteering as a catechist or room aides as the program is made possible with the help of volunteers.
