The year of COVID has certainly taken its toll on every area of our lives including our children’s faith journey and attendance at Faith Formation classes. Please remember that the Faith Formation program is very much like an academic school program in that each year builds on the previous year’s learning. It is important to continue this faith journey each year from Kindergarten/First Grade through Confirmation. Our First Eucharist program is a two-year preparation beginning in the first grade. Our Confirmation program is also a two-year preparation beginning in the 7th grade.
Registration forms have been mailed home to existing Faith Formation families and are available in the back of church, on our parish website, and Facebook page for new families.
We would love to have you and your children back with us as part of the St. Genevieve-St. Maurice Faith Formation community. Please email or call me with any concerns or questions you may have and see what we can work out.
Partners in Faith,
Phyllis Chudzinski
