The Faith Formation staff is looking forward to greeting all of our new and returning parents with children enrolled in the Communion A program. Tonight's 7pm meeting is the beginning of an initial two-year faith journey leading to their celebration of the Sacraments of Holy Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist next year.
But that won't be the end of the faith journey, something we all understand is a life-long journey on the road to heaven! We encourage our families to keep their children attending "CCD" classes until they are Confirmed; and after that, start attending the Adult Faith Formation classes, Bible Study, etc.

We also encourage (a.k.a., require) that our parents be the ones to help the children memorize their prayers. To help them with that we provide a little "game" that one of our school parents, Brenda Banchieri, came up with. We give them two copies of the "Our Father", one on card stock, one on paper. Each line of the prayer is on it's own line and they cut the paper one into strips. Then, working with their child, they mix up the strips and have the child put them back into order over top the lines on the card stock.
