Pre-K Faith Formation

"Ministry with adolescents recognizes that the family has the primary responsibility for the faith formation of young people and that the parish and Catholic school share in it. The home is a primary context for sharing, celebrating, and living the Catholic faith, and we are partners with parents in developing the faith life of their adolescent children. The Church can contribute significantly toward strong, life-shaping families for young people."

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to the Pre-K Faith Formation ministry! Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to provide your child with experiences that will open their hearts and minds to the love and knowledge of God/Jesus.  Our ministry will also encourage active participation in the life of the parish community.

Our classes will be in-person this 2021-2022 year with a home study option as well.  The classes will begin at the end of September 2021 and run until early May 2022.  The children will learn about our Catholic faith, sacraments, liturgical rituals, symbols, seasons, morals, standards, values, and how to pray.  The children will be given the words and tools they need to talk about God. Our program is Christ-centered, child-focused, and utilizes multi-sensory learning.  Families will have access to both paper and online materials each week of Gospel based lessons, a Catechism handbook, activity pages, and music.  

The support of our parents and teachers in this most precious ministry to our youngest children of the parish is of the uppermost importance. All of our volunteers 18 and older are VIRTUS/Safe Haven certified. In this ministry, the children are formally introduced to God/Jesus and His wonderful gifts.  Please call us with any question or comments you may have.

"United by Christ, the St. Bernadette Faith Formation Team welcomes, inspires, teaches, and supports everyone in their lifelong journey of faith."
