Registration for 2023-2024 school year form HERE
From the baptism of their child, when parents promise to raise their child in the Catholic faith, they begin Catholic education in their home. Parents, as primary educators of their children, also seek opportunities to deepen their own spirituality, as well as their child’s spirituality and understanding of the Catholic faith. Integral to a full understanding of the Catholic faith are weekly attendance at Mass, prayer within the home, and an active personal prayer life and relationship with God.
Grades K – 8 Wednesdays from 4:30 – 5:30 / 6:00 – 7:00pm
Grades 7 – 12 Wednesdays from 7:15 – 8:15pm
There are several ways for parents, teens and parishioners to get involved. We ask that EACH parent serve in one of the following ways:
Catechist or Team Catechist – A Catechist has charge of a group of 8-12 students for a year of faith formation. We encourage team-teaching, which gives the opportunity for more personal attention for the students. Training is provided before the year begins, and ongoing support is also provided. Benefits include knowing you are making a difference in the lives of the parish community’s youth by sharing your faith! Also, for parents who are catechists or team catechists for the full-year, your fees for all your children are waived!
Coordinator – The coordinator of each session welcomes students as they enter, helps catechists gather supplies from the resource room, helps catechists with special projects when asked and take attendance for all the classes of the session. In addition, should discipline problems arise, the student may be sent to the coordinator for a brief “time-out” from class. The coordinator is given the responsibility of returning the student to class when they are ready. The coordinator lets the Faith Formation office know of any needs that the catechists may have.
In addition to the above, the following extra options are available:
