Grades 1 - 5 Faith Formation 2021-2022

Grades 1 - 5 will use the "Discover! Finding Faith in Life" program; a home-based, child-friendly, self-directed online learning platform.  This engaging program supports the Domestic church, allowing families the convenience and flexibility to complete faith lessons at their own pace. 

Along with the home-based program; in-person family gatherings aimed to build community and celebrate the faith together will be held on select Sunday mornings throughout the year.  The gatherings will be approximately once a month (dates to be announced) with two different time options to attend; either after the 9:30 am Mass or after the 11:30 am Mass. The gatherings will run for approximately one hour in length. 

Liturgical events such as family reconciliation services for Advent and Lent, the blessing of the pets, etc. will take place on select Wednesday afternoons and evenings throughout the year (dates to be announced).

The completion of the Grade 1 and the Grade 2  "Discover! Finding Faith in Life" home-based online program along with the attendance of a few additional in-person gatherings (dates to be announced) are required to receive the Sacraments of  First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion in 2022.

Preparation for the reception of the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion is a two-year process, generally in Grades 1 and 2.   If your child is beyond the first grade and has not participated in a preparation program, please contact the faith formation office to discuss appropriate enrollment in the program.
