  • Children's Faith Formation
    Children's Faith Formation







    "In the family, faith is handed on together with life, generation after generation.
    It is shared like food at the family table and like the love in our hearts.
    In this way, families become privileged places in which to encounter Jesus,
    who loves us and desires our good, always."
    Pope Leo XI
    • First Communion (Grades 1 - 2)

      In this program children prepare to receive Jesus in the Eucharist for the very first time and encounter him in the healing Sacrament of Reconciliation.

      CFF Faith Basics (Grades 3 - 6) 

      This program runs October-May and we meet every Sunday. CFF Faith Basics gives students a hands-on experience to develop a love and knowledge of God’s Word and his church.

      Youth Confirmation (Grades 7 - 8+) 

      Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation is a two-year journey. This process typically begins in 7th grade; however, there is flexibility, so we encourage students to journey at their own pace.

      Children's Liturgy of the Word

      Children's Liturgy of the Word (CLOW) is a ministry which brings the message of the Gospel to children and families in their own words. Children (ages Pre-K through Grade 4) meet with two adult leaders during the Liturgy of the Word at the 10 am Mass on most Sundays. Please see the 1st Communion & CFF Calendar below for CLOW dates. 

      Becoming a Catechist

      Our Children's Faith Formation programs meet most Sundays after Mass from September to May.

    • Core Principles

      Love God‍ - Using the Loyola Press Finding God curriculum, our classes engage students' hearts, minds, and souls as they come to grow in a relationship with God.  

      Serve others‍ - Integrating Catholic teaching into daily life means living as disciples who seek to serve. Families will have the opportunity to participate in service throughout the year.‍  

      Be yourself‍ - Children will be given the tools for prayer to uncover who they are called to be as a child of God.

      Children’s Faith Formation is for children between the ages of 6 and 15 who would like to learn more about their Catholic faith and/or prepare for their sacraments. Volunteer catechists accompany our youth during preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation.
