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.

Sixth Grade continues to use the CALL TO FAITH textbook series. The emphasis of sixth grade lessons includes learning about some of the early leaders in the Old Testament and the Ten Commandments.

Seventh and Eighth grades use the WE LIVE OUR FAITH textbook series. In seventh grade the lessons emphasize the Trinity, Jesus' life and how we may live as disciples of Jesus today. In eighth grade the lessons emphasize Christian morality and church history.

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 11th graders focus on preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation, which they celebrate in the spring. Confirmation classes will meet one Sunday evening each month from 6:30 - 8:30 PM. 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. 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!
