FAITH FORMATION
Our Philosophy Faith Formation Calendar Pictures
Dear Parents,
We are excited about this year’s Faith Formation program that is set to begin with a parent and student meeting on August 24 at 8:45 in the Gym. It is required that you attend this meeting with your child.
If you have been registered in our Faith Formation program, please submit the registration form along with your payment. If you are new to our program, you will need to submit the registration form along with the permanent record form and payment. The fees for this year are: $50 for one child, $80 for two children, and $120 for three or more children.
Also included is a handbook on the policies of Saint Michael’s regarding religious education. Please take the time to read through it. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us, “Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children.” (CCC 2223) Our Faith Formation program provides a sound curriculum and dedicated catechists to help you fulfill this vocation. We appreciate that you take your responsibility seriously.
If your child is in grade 6 – 12, he/she is eligible to be a part of the Youth Group. The Youth Group meets monthly with some additional activities. These youth spend time together spiritually, giving of their time in works of mercy, and building up community within the Catholic Culture.
If you have a child that is preparing for the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist or Confirmation, there will be additional classes and retreats that are required. Please see the calendar that is included. The diocese requires regular attendance in formal religious education for the two years prior to receiving a Sacrament. We consider 95% attendance to be regular: therefore this year students may miss a maximum of 2 classes. If your child has attended Religious Education class in another parish, please request a letter from the Pastor or person responsible for Religious Education in that parish.
In order to provide a positive and proper environment for studying our Faith, We will maintain a dress code (no shorts). Please read the handbook section on page 10. We look forward to seeing you on August 24 at 8:45.Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Father Arnsparger
Theresa Webster, Faith Formation Secretary
