Elementary 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 either 4:00pm - 5:15pm or 5:30pm - 6:45pm from about October til 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 through Christian faith formation and sharing. 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. Also, twice a year, families gather together for "Households of Faith" during which all participate in an interactive prayer service and share a meal together compliments of the parish. Another hightlight of involving the whole family in our Faith Formation program is "Grandparents Sunday" where we encourage our students to come to Mass with their grandparents to honor them and share in the faith with them. Come see what we have in store for your child and family at St. Bridget's!
