It is our hope that you and your child(red) will have a great experince in our Christian Formation Program (CFP). We are committed to helping our young people receive and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We want to support you and and partner with you in living out your vocation as a Chritian parent.
At the heart of our approach in CFP is the Sunday celebration of the Holy Eucharist. The experiences that children have in CFP sessions flow from and lead back to our communal celebration of Sunday Mass. Our goal is to make the time your child(dren) spend at Mass and at formation sessions an opprotunity for them to deepen their relationship with God, with other children, and with the whole parish community.
On average, CFP formation sessions take place twice twice a month between September and May, for 90 minutes. Grades 1-4 meeting on alternating Saturdays, from 9 am to 10:30 am. Chidlren in grades 5-8 meet on onternating Mondays, from 6:30 pm to 8 pm. Teens in 9th grade prepare for Confirmation by gathering once a month, immidiately after the 10:30 am Mass.
