2023-2024 Faith Formation  Grades 1-5

Our Faith Family Fundays will begin again in Fall 2023.  If you'd like to help, please contact Melissa Ross.

This year, along with our eLearning lessons, we will have 3 Faith Family Fundays for our grades 1-5 program.  These “Fundays” will take place after our Sunday Morning Family Masses on the following dates (choose one date per session):

• These events offer a time where families will come together to pray, learn, and celebrate our faith!
• Gatherings will be outside while the weather allows, and will move indoors following safety protocols when needed. 
• Duration will be one hour in length (with our intention to be finished by 11am)
• These are meant for the entire family to enjoy!  ​​​​
• Join our family Mass beforehand

Our classes have concluded for the Spring.  Please consider helping in the Fall and contact Melissa Ross to learn about ways to help!


ST. JUDE
These classes will be offered on Tuesdays, with one session being offered: 4:00-5:00pm 

Childrens Liturgy will begin again in Fall 2023.
If you'd like to join the Childrens Liturgy Team, please contact Melissa Ross.

We will continue our Children’s Liturgy of the Word during the Weekend family Masses at St. Edward and St. Jude; typically on the first and third Sundays of every month from April through March.

The Faith Formation of your children will continue to be based on the model of the domestic church. This will be done at home using Discover! Finding Faith in Life (Grades 1, 3-5) and Go, Seek, Find Sacramental Preparation (Grade 2).  You are your child's greatest teacher and you model a life full of love, forgiveness, and prayer--which is your domestic church!  

The program will inspire and engage your children with a self-paced, child-focused, at-home program. Our successful inaugural year of this program proved that Discover! Finding Faith in Life will benefit both your child/children’s faith, and that of your entire family! 

 The curriculum offers:

• a scripture based approach
• interactive eLearning lessons at age-appropriate levels (15-20 minutes)
  • Each lesson contains:
    •  opening prayer
    •  scripture story
    •  age-appropriate eLearning activities
    • closing prayer 
•  self-directed learning in an engaging way
•  access from any device 

•  options for family involvement
