Classes are held in our newly renovated Parish Hall:
Second floor: K, front room (facing Hasell St); 1st, center room; 2nd, rear room (facing courtyard)
Third floor: 3rd/4th, front room (facing Hasell St); 6th/7th, center room; 5th, rear room (facing courtyard)
We are in need of class aides, substitute teachers, and co-teachers.
All adults involved with programs involving children are required to fill out diocesan forms (which include a background check) and watch a short diocesan-provided video program (available online). The resultant certification lasts for a period of five years and enables involvement with any parish program for minor children or vulnerable adults.
These forms can be found on our forms page.
Please submit your forms to the parish office as soon as possible, as it takes some time for the paperwork to be processed.
Thank you for becoming involved with this valuable ministry!
During the Faith Formation academic year, the 5pm Saturday evening Mass on the last Saturday of the month is a Children's Mass. For 2023-2024, there are no Children's Masses scheduled for November, December, or March. Children and their families are welcomed to participate by being altar servers, lectors, greeters, gift bearers, and offertory collectors, regardless of whether or not they are currently involved with our Faith Formation program.
If you are interested in participating, please arrive by 4:30pm to check in with Peggy.
Please note this change from last year - there WILL be Faith Formation classes on the Sundays following the Saturday evening Children's Masses:
September 23, 2023 (class on September 24)
October 28, 2023 (class on October 29)
January 27, 2024 (class on January 28)
February 24, 2024 (class on February 25)
April 27, 2024 (class on April 28)
