Children’s Faith Formation

Weekly Faith Formation classes run from 9:30 am to 10:45 am on Sundays, between the Masses.  At least one adult family member should come and plan to stay for each session. 

About our Children’s Faith Formation Programs:

This year, we’re trying something new!   

We believe, and our church teaches, that parents are the first and most important catechists of their children (CCC 2223).   Studies have shown that the children of families who pray at home together, go to Mass together, have conversations about their faith, and are engaged in their faith as a family, are more likely to continue in their faith into their teen and adult years.  The greatest influence on a child’s life-long faith is not the pastor, nor the youth minister, nor the Sunday School teacher…but the family! 

Here at Blessed Sacrament, we want to empower all of our parents to raise faithful, faith-filled, life-long Catholics!  And so every class this year will be a whole-family experience!  Together, we’ll become Kingdom Builders as we practice our faith through a variety of service projects, prayer experiences, and time to get to know more of our parish family, and you’ll go home with the tools to build and enhance your family faith life.  

During some class sessions, we’ll all hang out together for a game, lesson, craft, and snack.  For other sessions, we’ll take some time in same-age groups to learn and pray at a more focused level.  For some sessions, we’ll have faith, prayer, or service stations set up for families to explore and learn together.  But every class this year will be designed for kids and parents to experience together! 

In addition to our Sunday morning Faith Formation sessions, we’re once again joining the Middle and High School families for a fabulous Family Fun Night once a month!

About the Theme 

Kingdom Builders…  We pray the words “Thy kingdom come…Thy will be done…On earth as it is in heaven” every time we pray the Lord’s Prayer.  What are we doing to make God’s Kingdom happen here on earth?  This year, let’s be Kingdom Builders together!
