Elementary Program
-
Goal and Description
The goal of our Faith Formation for Children is to provide a faith-filled environment for students and their families. We strive to “teach as Jesus taught by welcoming unconditionally all who walk through our doors and treating them with love and respect.” From first grade through 8th grade, we stress God’s presence in their lives and an understanding of what it means to be a follower of JesusThe Elementary Program is for grades First through Sixth. After receiving their First Communion, this program continues to help guide the faith formation. The lesson plans are scripture-based and help the children understand the Sunday readings and apply the lessons to their lives. Other activities are also taught that assist the students in the understanding and practice of their Catholic faith.
Format
We will begin the year with Online lessons and move to the class room when conditions permit. Study Materials will be sent home for students to have in advance of the online classes. More details are provided in the Registration and Parent Handbook.
