AT THE PARISH

TWO Meetings per month for the whole family – Held Tuesdays or Wednesday of the month, we will meet in the Parish Hall from 5pm - 6:30 pm. Unless otherwise noted due to other planned activities. 

Parents – Will attend a parent talk during the first half of the session; providing parenting advice, faith development and many topics to help build each other up in our faith and parenting journey. Then parents will be joined by their children to work side by side on the activity books given to each child.

 Students – Will begin each session with their catechist with a short lesson. The second half of the session they will join their parents for side by side bookwork and activities.

Catechists – will meet with the children providing additional support as they prepare to receive their sacrament.

Children Receiving the Sacraments of Confession, Eucharist, and Confirmation will receive sacramental prep for 4-6 weeks after the family sessions are complete in April. Any child discerning readiness to receive a Sacrament, will be encouraged to apply to receive their Sacrament.

AT HOME

Parents – Will help their children continue to work on the assigned activity booklet if it wasn’t completed during the session. Families should attend Mass regularly (including Holy days of obligation) and any other required Religious Education activities.

Students – Students will be responsible for developing their prayer life, completing their activity booklets and decerning their readiness to receive Sacraments. Confirmation students will also complete Saint reports and services hours as needed.

Your family-assigned catechist – Will be available during the month to support you by answering questions and providing resources.
