New Plans for a New Year ~ 2020-21
As summer winds down and the focus for many starts to center on what's next for the school and liturgical year, you may be wondering about our faith formation plans, in light of the current realities. We have been thinking about that too! We have spent the recent months educating ourselves about new Archdiocesan requirements during Covid-19, mandated state and local health and safety requirements, best practices for distance learning, and ways to restructure so that we can better serve our community during these difficult times.

2020-21 Faith Formation Registration
The pandemic has affected us all and we have been working hard to plan meaningful and practical programming that both maximizes our limited resources and considers the needs and challenges that all our families may be facing at this time. We are excited to put forth opportunities that are easily adaptable to both in person and online that will continue to serve all in their growth as disciples.
Our offerings to help all grow as disciples this year will include:- Sacramental preparation for First Communion and Confirmation,
- Alpha for both Adults and Teens
- Phased-in offerings for all ages, based on small group, relational models
- Leadership training and support
- Ongoing outreach and support for parents
- Seasonal events to help celebrate the liturgical year.
We will begin the Fall with well-supported and guided online gatherings for sacramental preparation and Alpha. As we get those programs rolling and as more leaders are prepared, we will then be able to roll out more small groups. In-person and large group gatherings are not a reality at this time, but as soon as they become possible, we will be able to adapt and shift very easily.
Registration is simple! Because of the current limitations impacting faith formation and families, there will be a flat fee of $125 per household. For those in sacramental years there will be an additional $75 per child for First Communion preparation and an additional $100 per teen for Confirmation preparation. Registration can be completed online by clicking the link below. Schedules and details will be shared in the coming weeks for all programs as they continue to be refined.
Volunteers. We will be forming small groups to promote a culture of relational ministry and small group discipleship. We are looking for people who are interested in working to help build these groups. You can contact us for more information.
Thank you for your patience and partnership as we move forward! You are in our hearts and prayers,
Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions.
