The Good News

We offer two Faith Formation (Religious Education) options for your family. Both programs are designed to invite you and your child to find God every day in relevant and relatable ways. In addition, parish-wide “Family Events” are offered throughout the year to encourage participation in our parish community, foster service to others, help us learn about the liturgy, and engage deeper in our relationship with Christ as we grow in our faith.

FAMILY FAITH PROGRAM (Grades K-7)...An intergenerational program that gives parents all the tools and support needed to explore and live out your faith at home.

• All families come together once per month in-person to dive deeper into the weekly work completed at home and participate in an interactive hands-on lesson.
• During the rest of the month, weekly family lesson options will be emailed to you, from which you choose one to do together.
• This option is best for families who value flexibility, want to involve a grandparent or other loved one, and/or who enjoy or want to try learning, praying, and living the faith together.

SUNDAY CLASSROOM PROGRAM (Grades 1-7)...A traditional teacher-led classroom program.

• Children will attend weekly grade-level Faith Formation sessions with their peers exploring and experiencing their faith with the guidance of a catechist.
• Classes meet on Sundays between our two Masses from 9:30am until 10:20am, allowing your family to attend Mass either before or after class.
• This option is best for children who learn well in a group setting.

CREATING A SAFE ENVIRONMENT Policies for Volunteers

Volunteers who work with children, youth or vulnerable adults are required to sign a Diocese of Rochester Volunteer Code of Conduct, complete the Criminal Record Check process and participate in Creating a Safe Environment training. All of these volunteers must participate in a renewal of training every 3 years.

Youth Volunteers ages 13-17 must complete Youth C.A.S.E. This training consists of BOTH an ONLINE module as well as an IN-PERSON session. There are several in-person sessions to choose from for your convenience. Once completed, your CASE Certification is good for 3 years (or until you turn 18) and with it you are invited to volunteer in any Diocese of Rochester parish.

1. Prior to attending the in-person session, youth must complete the online training module found at this link: Safe Environment Volunteer Training for Teens
2. Instructions for logging in to the online course.
3. Be sure to register for the course with an email unique to the youth as well as the youth’s name so it will appear on the certificate and in DOR records.
