Welcome Back!
Faith Formation 2023-24

On-Site Formation Program (K-6)

The on-site programming covers the teachings of the Catholic Church with roots in Scripture, Church Tradition, and Ignatian Spirituality by using a traditional model of classroom instruction. Through the use of multimedia content, narrated videos, interactive activities, and Scripture, the program is designed to help children live lives of intentional discipleship and foster personal relationships with God. Located at both Holy Redeemer and Saint Ferdinand, the Faith Formation Offices provide a variety of times to provide options that can accommodate the various schedules of our parishioners.

*ALL STUDENTS RECEIVING THE SACRAMENTS OF RECONCILIATION AND FIRST HOLY COMMUNION, MUST ATTEND IN PERSON CLASSESS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HEALTH OR EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES

On-Site Formation Program (7-8)

The 7-8 grade classes are geared toward preparing students to receive the sacrament of Confirmation. These classes follow a traditional classroom model designed to help students explore their commitment to faith, engage in intentional discipleship and foster personal relationships with God. As the Eucharist is a central part of our Catholic Faith, we have arranged classes to encourage Mass attendance.

Home Study Formation Option

While it is ideal that all students attend in-person Faith Formation classes, Home Study Formation is available for those who cannot attend during the class times offered by the parish. Parents must work with their children at home each week to complete lessons on the curriculum portal. Once registered for Home Study, an instructional sheet will be provided to sign-on to the websites in conjunction with the textbook.
