  Monthly - Beginning Fall 2022 - Family Rosary Evenings - Parent Participation Portion
  
  2nd Wednesdays of the month - Faith Formation class begins with families meeting in the Church to pray the rosary together along with a short teaching on why and how to pray the rosary. We will begin praying 1 rosary decade together and build up to a full rosary by the end of the year.
  
  On Family Rosary Evenings - Grades 1-3: check-in will be at their classrooms immediately following the rosary (individual accommodations can be made if a parent cannot stay for the rosary. Check-in will be available in the back of the church before the rosary.)
  
  The primary study of the Catholic Faith is participating in the Sacramental Life of the Church through weekly Sunday Mass attendance and regular confession. If this is not a habit for you, we do not judge, we invite you with welcoming hearts to return to participating in the sacramental life of your parish home. We are available to talk about finding ways to support your family to return to the sacraments wherever you are at, so please don't hesitate to reach out.
  
  Faith Formation classes compliment participating in the sacramental life of the Church by systematically teaching the Truths of the Catholic Faith and providing formation in prayer.
