Programs and Sacramental Prep Offerings
for 2021-22
We are excited to bring back onsite programming this year! We believe that
community is an important part of the overall faith formation experience, which
is why we encourage the onsite programming to everyone. However, online/at-home
options are available to families who prefer that method. Please select the
method that makes the most sense for your situation.
Program Year Options. Our
program year will begin the first week in October and will conclude in
mid-April. Families can choose from these options:
· Sunday
Evenings from 5:15-6:15pm
· Wednesday
Evenings from 6:30-7:30pm
· Online/At-Home
Please note that the
Sunday evening program option takes place after the 4:00pm mass. We will NOT be
offering a meal this year, though a snack will be provided to your child/youth
during the session.
COVID-19 PROTOCOLS FOR FAITH
FORMATION PROGRAMS
We place a high priority in ensuring
that we comply with mandates from the Minnesota Department of Health and are
providing the safest possible environment for our children and youth. Among the
measures we are taking are compliance with whatever social distancing measures
are currently in place, requiring masking for all those who have not been
vaccinated, and sanitation of all spaces immediately following their use.
Beginning September 1, we will be
publishing online the current parish-approved procedures, in light of current
state mandates and protocols. Please understand that are policies for the
programs will be evolving and adjusting in accordance with the current
situation.

programs from the Minnesota Department of Health.
Registration: The
registration fee is $85 per registrant, with a family cap of $200. We have taken great
care in setting a price range that was reasonable for families, as well as
ensures we cover the expenses of the programs and materials we are offering. As
in the past, all adults who serve as a
catechist will receive a full tuition scholarship for their entire family. Unfortunately,
the nursery will NOT be available for catechists to place their young children
in this year, so please take this into consideration as you discern your
willingness and availability.
Partial
and full scholarships are available to families for whom our pricing may prove
to be a financial hardship. Please contact Scott Brazil, Director of Faith
Formation, for more information at sbrazil@paxchristi.com or 952-405-7230.

SACRAMENTAL PREP:
The
sacrament preparation process is part of our faith formation programs. This includes the sacrament of First
Reconciliation, First Eucharist, and Confirmation. It is our policy that, in order to
participate in the sacrament preparation process, your child needs to either be
registered and regularly attending one of our faith formation programs the
entire year before and the year of the sacrament, or attending a Catholic
school. Because of the unusual circumstances related to the pandemic, children
who did not participate in a faith formation program in 2020-21 may still
receive their sacraments this year. Registration for our programs occurs in the
late summer through fall and can be found at that time on our web page. Please contact the program ministers with
questions.
