WELCOME TO ELEMENTARY FAITH FORMATION
Our Elementary Faith Formation Program is for Grades Kindergarten through 5th Grade. Classes are taught by volunteer catechists and take place on Wednesday evenings from 4:00pm - 5:15pm from about October through May. The current curriculum used is Finding God by Loyola Press. The elementary grade level’s objective is to enrich the children’s spiritual lives by establishing a solid foundation of faithful knowledge and relationship in Jesus. All areas of learning are used; i.e., visual with films, videos, active participation in liturgies, hands-on experience with activities to enhance each lesson, and listening and participating in discussion of the lessons being taught. Family activities are sent home with the students, as parents are the primary educators of their children in the faith. Come see what we have in store for your child and family at St. Bridget's!
