Grades 1 - 5 Faith Formation
Our mission in Faith Formation is to support parents as the primary teachers of our Catholic Faith and evangelists within their families. This is called the Domestic Church. Simply put, the Domestic Church is the Church in the home, where families grow in faith and holiness together. To support the Domestic Church our Faith Formation Program
consists of the following:
Grades 1 - 5 Use the "Discover! Finding Faith in Life" program; a weekly home-based, child-friendly, self-directed online learning platform. This engaging program supports the domestic church, allowing families the convenience and flexibility to complete faith lessons at their own pace. Supplemental materials are provided to extend the online learning.
This home-based online program is an essential part of our faith formation curriculum and the completion of all 20 core chapters and 8 liturgical chapters of the St. Mary’s Press Discover! Finding Faith in Life online program is required for all students registered in the grades 1–5 program.Along with the home-based program we offer in-person Family Faith Nights. Family Faith Nights are a wonderful opportunity for families to grow in faith, joy, and community. Each evening includes a shared dinner, fun games, and engaging activities centered around our Catholic faith. Together, we'll participate in gospel-based or liturgical experiences such as Reconciliation, Adoration, the Stations of the Cross, the Rosary, and more.
Family Faith Nights will be held once a month on select Wednesdays from 5:00- 6:30 PM throughout the Faith Formation Year. (See Faith Formation Calendar of Events).
Preparation for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion is a two year program usually beginning in Grade 1 with the reception of First Reconciliation in the winter of Grade 2, and the reception of First Holy Communion in the spring of
Grade 2.Registration For the 2026 - 2027 Faith Formation Year is OPEN!
