FAITH FORMATION PROGRAM
(GRADES K-8)
HOW DO I SET UP AN ACCOUNT AND REGISTER CHILDREN FOR FALL CLASSES?
Welcome to our new Secure Online Registration Site. We are delighted that this system will allow us to go paperless & to communicate in a more effective and efficient manner with the families that we serve. Once you register and set up an account you will have the ability to update, correct and/or change information when necessary.
BEFORE YOU REGISTER:
1. Review the calendar dates for each session and choose the session that works best for your family schedule to avoid absences due to conflicts.
2. Special requests regarding class placement must be noted in the space provided at the time of registration. Last minute switches create chaos, large classes and an imbalance of boys to girls.
3. The success of our program depends on the generosity of our volunteers. By working together we can provide a safe and positive experience of Church for our children so that they can learn and grow in their faith.

As a token of our appreciation Catechists and Co-Catechists receive One Free Tuition for the class they teach.
Co-Catechists are two Catechists who are both present and share the responsibilities of lesson planning and teaching a class.
