Elementary Faith Formation

Our mission (each Wednesday and in every opportunity) is really quite simple … We don’t have to teach children to love God; they easily love!  Our JOYful ministry is to instill faith and share
Catholic teaching, which will spark and nurture a lifelong relationship with Jesus,
 and a strong sense of belonging to our Catholic Community!

The St. Michael Catholic Church Elementary Faith Formation program uses (the) Sadlier
We Believe Catholic Identity Edition as its core/base curriculum for Catholic teaching/studies.
www.webelieveweb.com  Sadlier Connect.

It is based on these six steps:
 
Children …

1. LEARN about their faith
2. CELEBRATE the Mass and sacraments
3. CHOOSE to follow Jesus’ example/teachings and show love and respect
4. PRAY every day and in many different ways
5. LIVE out their faith
6. SHARE the GOOD NEWS in the lives of their families, St. Michael parish family, and the Catholic church

It is with good intention, that Faith Formation staff and volunteers, provide opportunities (Wednesday CLASSES, SERVICE events, Grade level MASSES, EUCHARISTIC ADORATION, etc … )
to “plant” these six formational “seeds”.  Our hope is that they will “grow” in the hearts, homes, and “lived lives” of our children, as well as, parents and families!
We believe the primary role in the religious education/faith formation of children is one that parents/guardians take; it is a privilege to be “partners in faith”!
