WELCOME TO OUR 2024-25 FAITH FORMATION PROGRAM
Dear St. Catherine of Siena Family,
We are excited for this coming year! Our electronic registration system makes it easy for returning families to reenroll their children and enables new families to sign up and make payments fully online. You can find links to the appropriate forms below.
We thank you for your trust in us to share in the faith formation of your family. We look forward to the opportunities ahead to reconnect, grow closer to Christ and strengthen our Catholic faith as we gather to grow and share through the celebration of our Holy Sacraments, service work and parish community life.
Together, let’s seek and find God at work in our everyday lives, share our stories, serve in kindness and build our church as faithful Disciples of Christ.
Sincerely,
Your St. Catherine’s Faith Formation Staff
SACRAMENT PREPARATION:
FIRST RECONCILIATION, FIRST HOLY COMMUNION, and CONFIRMATION
Children who will celebrate these Sacraments are expected to participate in religious education/faith formation in grades 1-8, either as students of Saint Catherine’s School or as students in the parish Faith Formation Program. In addition to grades 1-8, completion of the 9th grade Confirmation Track is required for current 9th Graders.
PLEASE NOTE:
Sacrament of First Holy Communion (following First Reconciliation) has a 2-year preparation period starting in 1st Grade and continuing through 2nd Grade. In addition to the Faith Formation yearly tuition, there is a sacramental book fee of $50 per candidate in Grade 2 that covers the cost of the additional sacramental preparation books for both First Reconciliation and First Eucharist.
Sacrament of Confirmation also requires students to be actively participating in faith formation for two years. Current 9th Graders go through a hybrid program consisting of 10 computer modules and 5 in-class sessions starting in October 2024 and continuing through Spring 2025, when they will be confirmed. There is a Grade 9 program tuition of $120 per candidate that covers all materials and the Confirmation Retreat. Current 8th Grade students will prepare for a Fall 2025 Confirmation with regular faith formation classes or SCS religion classes for the Fall 2024 semester and a hybrid program of 10 computer modules and 5 monthly in-class sessions from January to May 2025 (plus an additional in-class session and Confirmation Retreat in Fall 2025, prior to receiving the sacrament.)
