Today we know and understand that children experience liturgy and all the normal events of life with a capacity consistent with their age.

It is easier for young children to participate fully in the Eucharistic Celebration (Mass) if they can understand what they are doing and seeing.   

Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLW) is offered most Sundays during the 10:30 am Mass beginning in September thru May.  Children are called up front at the beginning of Mass and return to parents before the Liturgy of the Eucharist begins.  There is a Registration Fee is $10/family.

Due to COVID-19 and the inability to begin classes as we have done each fall, Faith Formation has a different look over the next few months.  

Kindergarten – 5^th grade children are invited to a morning of forming their Catholic Faith on Saturday, March 13^th from 10:00 am – noon.  Using a variety of activites, we will spend time learning about Holy Week.  Masks must be worn, and all social distancing protocols will be observed.  There is a registration fee of $5/child.  Registration is necessary and can be done by using the Sign-up Genius link:   https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0849AFA82DA5FF2-k5th4

The timeless truths of our Catholic Faith are taught at every grade level in Faith First Legacy Edition, the curriculum used in our Elementary Faith Formation Program.  Some values of this program are doctrine (beliefs), in-depth Scripture study, seasonal material, a “With My Family” section, “Faith-Filled” people, and a website putting Catholic technology at your family’s fingertips.  Classes meet from 3:45 pm - 5:00 pm Wednesday's beginning in September thru April.  There is a registration fee of $50 per student; if a student is attending OLV School, there is a reduced fee of $40 per student for this supplemental religious education.
