Families of 3rd - 6th graders will gather for lessons generally twice a month. Families will work on assignments at home or during Sunday small group times. THIS IS NOT A DROP OFF PROGRAM. PARENTS MUST ATTEND WITH THEIR CHILD.
All children attend Theology of the Body classes while parents are receiving their instruction. This program is based on the teachings from St. John Paul ll concerning our dignity as God’s children, created in His image and likeness. It is both challenging and beautiful to discuss what your child is learning from this class, go over the assignments with them, and read the parent information which will be coming your way. You might find the discussions to be lively and engaging for your children.
How to decifer the calendar:
Parents + Kids Classes = Parents will attend Adult Formation while kids attend their respective classes
Family Meeting = Parents plus kids will meet in a large group for family faith formation
Optional Small Groups = Time to work on assignments with other families in community
