To enroll your child(ren) for Faith Formation K-8, please review the following options:

SEEK will return! Seek is an on-ramp experience of initial faith formation. It’s designed for younger children, around the ages of 6 through 10. That age range is a guide, not a rule, as Seek is formatted like a Vacation Bible School with song, dance, crafts and skits. Please chat with us before enrolling any significantly younger or older children in Seek so we can discern together if it is a good fit for them. For an indepth description about Seek, please click here.

Root: Is fundamental catechesis on the basic beliefs and teachings of our faith using the Apostles Creed as a model and is recommended for families with children up to age 14. To know more, click on the image or click here.

Source & Summit includes 53 Gospel Encounters for this year’s Sunday Masses, plus Christmas. Each Weekly Family Gospel Encounter includes: a short reflection to provide context, reading of the Sunday Gospel, discussion questions, an activity, and a prayer. They are meant to help families prepare for the upcoming Sunday Mass. The Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life" (Lumen Gentium 11). This is an at-home family faith experience.
A family experience about the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. Over 15 family meetings, families will wrestle with and live out the command of Jesus: "love one another as I love you" (John 15:12).

A family experience about the Saints and gifts of the Holy Spirit. Over 8 family meetings, families will cook a recipe related to the life of a Saint and learn about a gift of the Holy Spirit lived out in their lives.
SACRAMENTAL OPTIONS:


The sacramental preparation programs are Mend (1st Reconciliation) & Nourish (1st Communion). Registration for these programs is now closed. If your child is not currently enrolled, Please plan for a September 2022 enrollment.
