Faith Formation Class Schedules/Curriculums

Our plan for 2020-21 school year classes for children in Grades 1 through 5:
Because of COVID19 concerns, we have moved to an online, all home-schooled program of classes for those Grades. Our program is “Faith and Life Online, by My Catholic Faith Delivered."

​After your children are registered, we will sign them up through the parish so that grade-appropriate lessons can be accessed from your home computer or smartphone. The program tracks time spent on each lesson, and includes a quiz that must be completed with a passing grade (retakes are possible). We also hope to have once per month Zoom meetings for each grade, and we will require Mass attendance once per month as a class.

A schedule/calendar for each Grade level is posted below, with guidelines as to when to cover each lesson.


Online registration for 2020-2021 Faith Formation Classes

​Until further notice, we are planning on moving forward with in person classes for grades 6-10.
We will keep you updated on all relevant information regarding middle and high school faith formation.
Please watch the bulletin for updates.
