Family Formation 2025-2026 (grades K-6)
Our Family Formation program (September to May) is open to all Sacred Heart Parish Families and available each year for all grades K-6. We offer two easy-to-use curricula by Loyola Press for Sacramental Preparation ("God's Gift") and Faith Formation ("Finding God"). Both are rich in multimedia and provide a robust learning platform for children and parents. Our goal is to partner with and empower parents to teach their children about our Catholic faith.Parents and children attend eight evening sessions at Sacred Heart School once per month. During each meeting, children are grouped by grade and receive classes led by our knowledgeable Catechists. At the same time, parents learn about our Catholic Faith separately. All classroom instruction for children is in English, while parents have the option to receive their formation in English or Spanish. Most importantly, parents are expected to educate their families between each session at home with the bilingual material provided. "Because Faith is best taught and lived out in the family, the Church calls parents to be the first and foremost educators of their children".
Registration for the 2025-2026 school year is now open. Click below to register. We look forward to seeing new and returning families in the fall. Please contact us at [email protected] with any questions including how to become a Catechist or Assistant in our program.
