Elementary School Youth
(Grades 1-5)
To provide faith formation continuity throughout the school year, children in grades 1-5 attend 21 sessions on various Tuesday evenings from September through March. Classes are held for an hour and 15 minutes in the Parish Center. Parents have the option of signing up their child for either the 5:15-6:30 PM session or the 7:00-8:15 PM session. These classes are taught by parents and other parishioners who volunteer their time to help the children grow in faith. Teachers, subs, aides, office helpers, and nursery volunteers are needed. Volunteer teachers do not need to know everything there is to know about faith. All that is needed is the willingness to be a "learner among learners" and to let God teach you as you share the faith you do have with your students! Those who teach may waive the registration fee for one child.
Please note: These classes are NOT considered sacramental preparation for First Communion or First Reconciliation. Children who are of age for these sacraments should be signed up for both Grades 1-5 Tuesday classes AND the specific sacramental preparation.
Time: 5:15-6:30 PM or 7:00-8:15 PM
BEGINNING: Tuesday, September 9, 2008
A calendar specifying all the dates from September through March will be provided at the first class.
