3rd-5th Grade Family Faith Formation 2025-2026

Details

3rd-5th Grade Family Faith Formation

The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that “parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children;” and “through the grace of the sacrament of marriage, parents receive the responsibility and privilege of evangelizing their children.” We are excited to implement this vision through our family catechesis program that empowers our parents to establish a Domestic Church, the Church at home.

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

Our Family Faith Formation program provides 3rd-5th grade students with the opportunity to grow closer to Christ in a variety of different ways. Once a month, 3rd-5th grade students will attend class on campus. Classes will consist of prayer time, a lesson, a project or activity, and students will have the opportunity to discuss their faith with peers in small faith sharing groups called “Grow Groups.” Students will also be given the opportunity to enter into the Sacraments throughout the year in addition to learning more about our Catholic faith through experiences like Stations of the Cross as a faith formation family and opportunities to spend time with Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration.

WHEN IS CLASS?

Family Faith Formation classes are once a month. All classes are on Sundays from 3:00-4:30pm in the St. Cecilia Gym. We will have a mandatory parent meeting Sunday, August 24 at 4:00pm in the Parish Life Center. Students are not required to attend this meeting but they are welcome to join if they'd like. The full class schedule can be found below.
