FAITH FORMATION GRADES 1 - 8

FAMILIES AND FAITH:  If you have multiple children with loads of scheduling conflicts, consider our new program that will meet once a month at Holy Cross.  This is a program based on families attending Mass together (10:00 a.m.) and then proceeding to the parish hall for one hour of community based faith formation.  We have two wonderful lead families working with Lindsay Franzoni on this model.  If it is successful we will expand it next year.  Attending these sessions fulfills your child's faith formation requirements for the year. If you have a child in a sacramental year, you would need to simply pay the sacramental fee and you can determine if would like your child to attend sacramental prep in person, or complete the work at home. To learn more about this, contact Lindsay at Holy Cross.
