The in-person sessions prepare them for the sacraments of First Communion and First Reconciliation (2nd Grade) and help them learn about the Catholic faith, grow in their relationship with God and build a strong foundation for lifelong discipleship.

REACH OUT: A FAMILY SERVICE ACTIVITY
During our Family Faith Formation Reach Out Session in December, students of all ages will put their faith into action by creating and preparing items to help those in need in our community and beyond. This is a required class activity, and we encourage families to participate together as we serve others and live out our faith.
The Reach Out Session is part of your child’s regular class and families should plan to attend together.
Parish members are welcome to attend and participate in our Reach Out activity sessions held during class. No sign-up necessary.
