Faith Formation for Youth
Faith Formation Classes
Helping Young People Learn & Grow in Faith
Our Faith Formation curriculum follows the liturgical calendar and uses the Gospel Weeklies curriculum for children in Grades K-6. Weekly lessons present a comprehensive, age-appropriate overview of our Christian, Catholic faith. Lessons reflect the mission and values of St. Matthew’s by emphasizing one or more of the Catholic Social Teachings of respect, dignity, caring, responsibility, and our relationship with God and others.
Program Overview
Classes are held in St. Matthew’s Parish Center on Wednesdays from 6:30 – 7:45 pm during the school year. Classes run from mid-September until May. Parents/guardians should also expect to participate in the preparation of their children as they get ready to receive the sacraments.
