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 during the year of the sacrament celebration, or attending a Catholic school. 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.

ELEMENTARY PROGRAM
Grades 1–5
DISCOVER - FINDING FAITH IN LIFE:
We welcome you to experience a new elementary program entitled, Discover- Finding Faith in Life by St Mary’s Press. With this program, children and families learn together in the convenience of their own homes and their own schedules.
The Catholic Children’s Bible is the core text of this program and a Bible is offered to every participant. We’ll arrange for a pick-up of your new Bible as our program year begins in the fall. There is an excitement about the opportunity to dive deeper into scripture and experience the messages of the Word of God which is alive and active in our lives. This unique feature promotes biblical literacy and knowledge of key scripture stories throughout the Old and New Testaments.
Each grade level is structured with four units and five chapters within each unit. We will provide a schedule and include liturgical season sessions. You can guide your child to learn independently though the electronic lesson. You’ll find the curriculum is easy to understand and follow. It’s designed for about an hour of study and can be shortened or expanded depending on your schedule.
There are a multitude of activities and prayers and all the important components of our faith. Come learn together as you grow in your faith!
