    • FIRST COMMUNION FORMATION PROGRAM

      A whole family journey for those with children Grades 1-5, preparing to celebrate their First Reconciliation and First Communion.

    • Registration & Start Dates:

      Online Registration is now closed. 

    • As the course of the pandemic changes, we continue to adapt and change with it.  Last year, the Faith Formation staff prayerfully embraced a new vision for our ministry, focused on fostering a life-long journey of discipleship for the family.  We shifted from primarily focusing on “content about Christ” to “encounters with Christ,” encouraging prayer, Bible time, rituals, service, and faith conversations to take place in the home with the family.

      As we enter the year ahead, we are excited to re-implement in-person gatherings at the church while continuing to support the crucial role of parents in the faith growth of their children at home.  Our 2021-22 program will includes the following three components:

    • Whole family gatherings + follow-up activity.

      • Once per month beginning in November
      • 5 total family gatherings (3 in-person + 2 virtual from November-March)
      • Community-building with other families on the same faith journey
      • Prayerful encounters with Jesus for the whole family
      • Foundational Catholic concepts: Creed, Morality, Liturgy, Sacraments, Prayer
      • Includes special Faith at Home activities to take home and continue family faith growth
      • 2 additional family retreats (in person, Feb & April) for families with children celebrating Reconciliation and Eucharist this year
    • Growing in your own faith to model for your child.

      • Once per month beginning in December
      • Begins with December Parish Advent Retreat
      • Various offerings each month, including live, virtual, and self-study
      • Offerings available in English or Spanish
    • In-person, age-specific sessions led by faith-filled volunteers.

      • Twice per month beginning in January
      • Available in English and bilingual in English/Spanish
      • 3 Tracks:
        • Year 1 Communion preparation
        • Year 2 Communion preparation
        • ELEVATE Youth Group (for kids who have already celebrated First Communion)
    • Save the Dates - November and December Family Sessions

    • Program Requirements

      We follow the Archdiocesan guideline that every child/teen participates in two years of a faith formation program prior to the celebration of sacraments. 

      To register, parents need to submit a Baptismal Certificate for youth preparing to receive their First Holy Communion OR a Birth Certificate for unbaptized youth preparing for full initiation (Baptism, Communion, Confirmation).

      Request your Child's Baptism or Communion Certificate

    • Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions...

    • Volunteers Needed!!!

      We need you to volunteer to share your faith! What does it mean to be a catechist or helper? Catechists and helpers are disciples of Jesus who are living out the call to share the Good News with young people.  The primary qualifications are a love of the Lord and a desire to nurture the faith of children.  Materials and trainings are provided. 

      To pray and discuss if this ministry is right for you, please call Melanie Bailey.
