Faith Formation 2017 Report Card

​

Dear families,

Welcome to the St. Perpetua Faith Formation program. It is our goal to provide the fundamentals of our faith in an engaging and supportive atmosphere. On behalf of Fr. John, the faith formation parish staff and our team of catechists we are excited to introduce our programs for the coming season. Please plan to attend a Parent Information Session on September 14th at 9:30 a.m. or September 19th at 7:00 p.m.

Our faith formation classes will meet twice each month from September through April. The purpose of our program is to teach the children about God’s Word, the Catholic Church and our responsibilities as Christians. Our programs combine religious education, participation in weekly liturgies, faith families, and preparation for sacraments. Each component is equally important and will provide a joyful experience designed to immerse children into our Catholic community while developing their relationship with Jesus.

The children meet with their catechist leaders to learn the practices of our faith, our beliefs and to explore how to make God an everyday part of life. This year we will offer four “Faith Family Nights” and parents are asked to attend with their children to learn about our rich liturgical seasons throughout the year. Parents are the most influential teachers of faith. Our Faith Family Nights give parents the opportunity to deepen their own relationship with their faith while creating an avenue to pass knowledge, traditions and faith experiences to their children.

Our class offerings are as follows:

Sunday Faith Formation *               10:30 - 11:30 a.m.         1st - 5th grade

Sunday Faith Formation & TEAM    6:00 - 7:15 p.m.           1st - 8th grade 

Tuesday Faith Formation *               5:30- 6:45 p.m.            1st - 5th grade

* Faith Family Nights will only be offered Sunday evening. Families may attend at either session offered at 4:00 - 5:15 p.m. or 6:00 - 7:15 p.m.

Our Faith Formation program serves over 350 children each year and our success depends largely on the support of many parent volunteers. Each family is asked to contribute volunteer hours to the program. Many opportunities are available with a variety of skills needed. Your participation provides the children with beautiful examples of our faith. The more parent involvement we have, the more loving and nurturing of a program we can provide. The Sign Up Genius with all volunteer opportunities can be found on our registration webpage.

On the following pages you will find detailed information and schedules for each program. If you need assistance in choosing which session is best for your family or if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new families in September.
