Instructions to Register for Spark Groups
Below you will find descriptions of the Spark groups (formerly FICs) that will be offered for Senior High Faith Formation during the spring 2020 season. Please use the registration form on the bottom of this page. Rank your top three choices in order of your level of interest before submitting the form. Some Spark groups have limited space, so groups will be assigned to youth on a first-come, first-serve basis. With this in mind, it is CRITICAL that you make sure to select three DIFFERENT choices in case your first two are already full.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Scott Brazil, Director of Faith Formation, at 952-405-7230 or sbrazil@paxchristi.com. You will find out your Spark placement by February 5. Unless you are told otherwise, you should plan to come to the John XXIII Room (formerly the Garden Level) at the beginning of your session for announcements and dismissal to Spark groups.
