For children entering Grades K-7 and Confirmation Prep. (Gr. 8, 9 or above)
Children enrolled in a CATHOLIC SCHOOL and HOMESCHOOLERS using a Catholic Curriculum must register with the parish in Grades 2, 8, & 9 for Sacramental Preparation. (You are most welcome to participate more!)

For example, enrollment in first grade is required to receive First Holy Communion in 2nd; to be confirmed in 9th grade, you must register in both 8th and 9th grade.

Our Faith is a TREASURE!
LIVE, LEARN, AND LOVE IT!
Partner with us in our classroom-based model where dedicated volunteer catechists teach, witness, and practice the Catholic faith with children in graded classrooms.
Classes typically meet most Tuesdays from September-mid May. Families will have opportunities to learn and worship together through family Masses and Feast Day celebrations. Confessions available during faith formation 5 times throughout the year. Saturday Sacramental Retreat days for First Reconciliation, First Eucharist, and Confirmation provide extended time to practice Catholic devotions, and pray.
Children in grades K-5 meet from 6-7 PM
Grades 6-7 meet from 7:15-8:15 PM
Confirmation Prep meets 7:15-8:30 PM.
If your family situation is unique or you cannot make Tuesdays work, please reach out; we’re happy to work with you. If your child missed a sacrament or you have scheduling challenges, no worries; we’ve got you!

Our parish uses the Faith and Life series published by Ignatius Press as our primary text for grades 1-8. (Kindergarten and Confirmation Level 2 use different materials.) Enrollment every year is important as the curriculum builds from year to year. To learn more and see what is covered each year, click the “Details” button below. Parent resources are available upon request so you can follow up at home and share your faith too!
