Family of Faith (Scroll down to register)

We are entering our second year of "A Family of Faith." If you're new to our parish or our religious education program, we have moved to a family-based model.

In our effort to better support parents as the primary educators, especially in religious education, of their children,* we recently overhauled the parish religious education experience!

All religious education will be led by parents and supported by the parish. We will host a monthly evening event in which all families come together to learn and pray.

Parents will then lead two lessons for their children in the home during the remainder of the month. There will also be optional social and community building activities.

Your children may eventually ask you some difficult questions! Even if you are unsure of everything or not confident in your knowledge of the faith, you are perfectly suited to teach your children our faith!

We will do everything possible to help you! Answering a personal or tough question with an honest, "I am not sure, but let me get back to you" is a perfect way to share with your children that we are all learning and growing in faith together! Your family does not want you to be a know-it-all. They want you to be honest and open as we allow Jesus Christ to transform our very lives!

* paraphrase of Gaudium et Spes 48

We know that this is a big ask for some families. In our parish plan aligned with the Diocese of Madison's "Go Make Diciples" intiative, we are striving to Reclaim Sunday as a holy, family day. It will be up to each family to prioritize faith formation but we are hoping that extra-curricular events and sports will be understanding of a religious need to miss practice two or maybe three times over the whole season.
Sacramental Preparation

Sacramental preparation will remain relatively similar to previous years. It has always been above and beyond standard religious education and those preparing for First Reconciliation/First Communion and Confirmation will receive schedules for specific formation events and classes. First Reconciliation/Communion typically takes place in second grade. Confirmation preparation typically begins in spring of ninth grade with students being confirmed fall of 10th grade. PLEASE NOTE: The Diocese of Madison asks that anyone coming for sacrament preparation must be enrolled and attending standard religious education at least ONE YEAR PRIOR to the year that they prepare for the sacraments.
