ANNOUNCEMENTS Confirmation is scheduled for Wednesday, April 30, 2008 7:00 P.M. - - - - - Kindergarten - 5th grade students meet on Wednesday afternoons from 3:30-4:45 p.m. in Sacred Hearts School. The students begin in the gymnasium for a 15 minute large group session followed by 1 hour of class. Call to Faith is a completely new religious education program rooted in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. We are committed to sharing the richness of our past, engaging the realities of our present, and developing skills to meet the challenges of our future. 6th - 10th grade students meet on Wednesday evenings from 7:00-8:15 p.m. in various buildings on the Parish Complex. Open basketball in the gym precedes class from 6:30-7:00 p.m. (ONLY IF WE HAVE VOLUNTEERS TO SUPERVISE.) 6th-8th graders use Crossroads as a textbook series. Crossroads is the middle school series written to help students to develop an enriched understanding of their faith. Six different topics are designed to meet the needs of the middle school student, including Church History, New Testament, Morality, Discipleship, Old Testament, and Commandments.
The 11th graders focus on preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation, which they celebrate in the spring. Confirmation classes will meet mostly on the first and third Sunday evenings of every month from 6:30 - 8:30 PM. There are some exceptions so read the calendar closely. Each student receives a "Red Book" that covers the necessary steps to worthily receive Confirmation as well as a curriculum that covers the basic tenets of Catholicism with special emphasis on the Holy Spirit. THE CHRISTIAN FORMATION FUND The Christian Formation Fund is an investment fund for the future needs of
the parish.

Living
Our Faith - Church meets young adolescents where they are, with
materials that honor their experiences and invite them to grow in their faith.
Living Our Faith is used in the 9th grade. Pathway through
Scripture is used for the 10th grade as they deepen their love and
understanding of the Bible. 
The Principle is never spent, but the interest is available for the
department to use for the good of all members of the parish. Donations may be
made through the bi-monthly envelope or directly to the Christian Formation Office. Each October, we present a check to a family that represents the
Christian Formation program in our church. Each year, our
Christian Formation program is blessed with a check to assist us in continuing
the fine Catholic Education that Sacred Hearts is known for. This year, we
presented a check in the amount of &1,674.43 Thank you to each of you
who contribute to our Christian Formation
Fund. May God Bless You Richly!
