Elementary Faith Formation 

Grades 1-5

Our mission (in every opportunity) is really quite simple. Children do not need to be taught to love our God; they easily love! Our JOYful ministry is to model and instill faith, as well as, share Catholic teaching. We hope to spark and nurture a lifelong relationship with Jesus, and a strong sense of belonging to our Catholic Community!

Children in the 2nd grade will begin the year (FALL 2021) preparing to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.  We will be using the Blessed FIRST RECONCILIATION program (published through Dynamic Catholic).

September through April, children in the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade receive formation using the blended learning curriculum entitled CHRIST IN US.
This program is built on a spiral approach to religious formation. This means that a concept taught in 1st Grade, will be taught again in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade, but in more depth and detail. Families with children at different grade levels can explore the same concepts/themes at the same time.  Also, each unit and lesson poses an Essential Question, which is the same question for all grade levels.  This format simplifies faith sharing within each family, which is so important whether you choose CLASSROOM or HOMESTUDY learning for your child(ren)!

From Knowing to Living … each lesson presents Catholic teaching in ways that develop understanding through “head, heart, and hands.” Children are formed to make the leap from “knowing about” to “living out” their faith as young Catholics!


We are offering two models of learning/faith formation:

• (Traditional) ON SITE learning/faith formation Catechist/Children/Classroom: These sessions are held on Wednesdays, from 5:00PM ~ 6:00PM, as well as, from 6:30PM ~ 7:30PM, in the Saint Michael Catholic School building.

• HOME STUDY learning/faith formation: Parents will have access to digital tools/resources and be given PRINT materials (child textbook, Bible, etc … ) to use at home. This combination is an A+ distance learning solution. HOMESTUDY allows families the ease of a flexible schedule, within the comfort of home!
