Option A - B: Pre k4 - 8th Grade Family of Faith Formation
(Students attend TWICE a month/**Parents attend ONCE a month**)
- In addition to the students meeting twice a month, families will take home materials to use in the domestic home for the rest of the month which will help them grow deeper in relationship with Christ, His Church and each other.
- **Parent Formation**: Parents attend the second meeting of each month in the school cafeteria for our parent faith formation, featuring the No Greater Love Bible study. This is an opportunity to build community with other parents while growing deeper in your faith as your children attend class.
Participation in the study is included; however, if you would like your own workbook, there is an additional $30 fee. If you wish to purchase a workbook, please be sure to select that option on the online registration form.**
