Prek3-8th Grade Religious Education Options:

A- B Prek4 - 8th Grade Family of Faith Formation

(Students attend TWICE a month/**Parents attend ONCE a month**)

  • Students attend 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 1st meeting of the month in the cafeteria. There is an additional cost of $25 for the workbook however this book is not required for parents attending Family of Faith. We will be using Ascension Press' Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible which will help you discover the story of salvation history and understand how you fit into God’s plan. Meeting will be on the first meeting of the month during your child's class in the school cafeteria.
