Covid-19 Plan for Faith Formation, Fall 2020

• At this time, we are planning to offer on-campus classes for children and youth this fall as well as a home study option for grades K-12.
• For those choosing on-campus classes, health and safety protocols will be in place.  Protocols will include taking of temperatures, hand sanitation, social distancing, and the wearing of masks in all buildings.  Click HERE for information about on-campus classes.
• In order to keep class sizes small we will limit the number of registrations for in-person classes.  If you desire to attend classes on campus, please register as soon as possible to ensure your preferred day / time is available.
• All plans are subject to change due to state, county, and/or archdiocesan regulations

Elementary Formation encompasses children in Pre-K4 through Grade 5. We welcome the opportunity to help your children grow in their faith through Faith Formation. 

Early Childhood Formation: Pre-K4 and Kindergarten
Early Childhood Formation uses Allelu! published by Our Sunday Visitor. The program consists of weekly lessons and activities organized around the four big ideas listed under Elementary Formation.  Weekly take-home pages are distributed for family discussion and prayer.

Elementary Formation: Graders 1-5
Elementary Faith Formation uses the Christ in Us series from Sadlier Press. The program is adapted to the new curriculum formatted by the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston that focuses on lifelong learning and forming Disciples in Christ.   This curriculum follows a scope and sequence organized around four big ideas: “Who Is Jesus Christ?”; “How Do We Get to Know and Love Jesus Christ?”; “How does Jesus Christ Teach Us to Live a Moral Life?”; and “How Are We Called to Become Missionary Disciples of Jesus Christ?”.    Occasionally, there will be take home materials for family discussion and prayer. 

Schedule
Early Childhood and Elementary classes are one hour and fifteen minutes long, one day a week during the school year. In order to provide an opportunity for families to find a class that best suits their schedules, we offer the following days and times:

• Sunday at 3:30 p.m. (NOTE: Sunday classes for grades K-4 are FULL as of Friday, Sept.18.) 
• Tuesday at 4:45 p.m.
• Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. (Grades 1-5 only)
• Wednesday at 4:45 p.m.

 
Home School Option
 Parents are the primary educators of their children. With this in mind, we offer a home school option that allows parents to teach their children at home in place of formal catechetical class
