2020-2021 Faith Formation Grades 1 - 4
Welcome to Faith Formation! This year, our program for grades 1-4 will primarily be provided at-home through monthly online modules with age-appropriate activities and links for deeper exploration of the topics covered. Our hope is to add to this at-home program a monthly in person gathering for both youth and adults at the church campus when COVID health concerns allow.
The Catechism teaches that parents are their children's primary catechists. We look forward to supporting you in your role, helping your family grow in faith and relationship with Jesus.
