St. Joseph Parish offers Faith Formation classes, Grades 1-8 on Tuesdays, from 4-5:15 mid-September to early May in the School Building.
Confirmation is a two year program, 9th and 10th grade and meets on Tuesday evenings with Tom Brown, Confirmation Director.
Faith Formation (religious education) instills in our youth at a young age the importance and the beauty of our Catholic Faith. In a faith-filled environment, along with their peers, their faith and love of Jesus is cultivated and able to flourish, and they are given a deeper understanding of the Mass and its significance. We emphasize a love of Jesus in the Eucharist and promote the teachings of the Catholic Church in an age-appropriate setting. We provide opportunites for service projects and social gatherings, as well as spiritually enriching Parent-student activities. All are welcome!
Faith Formation Program: Knowledge, Prayer, Service
This year is a year of change and challenges, and our Faith Formation program is adapting! Our program this year is three-fold:
Knowledge- Your children will learn more about their faith during their online Faith and Life series- shorter, narrated videos that walk you through each week's topic, with activtities and quizzes at the end. Our teachers will also have a Teacher's Corner with supplemental resources.
Prayer- Each month will have its own theme and prayer focus, culminating in our in-person meeting. Whether it be for the Rosary or Adoration, we are looking forward to coming all together to put our faith into practice!
Service- Though we can't gather in the school to complete acts of service, we can still serve others! Each month will have a simple way for your child to serve others, and bring their contribution to our monthly in person meeting.
