Faith Formation
Family of Faith
The Family of Faith Program is our primary religious education program at St. Patrick's parish. There is a breakout session for parents and children, a meal together and a time of family prayer. Lessons to expand on the monthly theme are completed by the families at home. The Family of Faith meetings are once a month from October to May.
Sacramental Preparation Classes
Children who are entering 2nd grade AND will be 7 years old by December 31st may be registered for the Year 1 class, they will make their First Confession in this class and begin First Communion Preparation. Children may be registered for Year 2 after they have completed the Year 1 preparation year, this year will end with Confirmation and First Holy Communion at Mass with the Bishop. Please contact Mrs. Pollock with any questions.
To participate in the sacramental preparation classes children must be registered and participating in our Family of Faith Program.
Adaptive Learning Kits
To help facilitate the right of all children to catechesis and development of their relationship with God, St. Patrick's has 2 sets of adaptive learning kits from Loyola Press for sacrament preparation. Ideal for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other learning differences, the kits are meant for families to take home to prepare for the reception of sacraments of Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation at a pace and scope that is appropriate for each child.
Please contact Mary Pollock using the button below for more information, or to take a look at and check out a kit for your child.
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a wonderful program and we are blessed to be able to have an Atrium space here at St. Patrick's. Our Pre-K and Kindergarten students will have lessons in the Atrium during our Family of Faith meetings. Older children who are enrolled in the Family of Faith Program may enroll for additional Catechesis lessons in our Atrium space.
