Thank you for your interest in Saint Anne Faith Formation!
The pandemic has taught us many things and has also provided opportunities that we may not have otherwise had. We received a significant amount of positive feedback from families on last year’s programs – much better than anticipated given the circumstances.
As research has conclusively proven, parents are by far the greatest faith influencers of their children. With that in mind, and in response to parent input, we have adapted our grades 1-5 Children’s Faith Formation with the goal of providing a more lasting and lived faith life for our families presented in a flexible manner to meet parents’ stated needs.
For parishioners of all ages, there are opportunities throughout the year that provide an enhanced Catholic foundation in participatory and engaging settings, enabling all to grow and share in faith together.
Interested in First Reconciliation and First Eucharist preparation?
Preparation for the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Eucharist is a two-year process that begins in the fall two years prior to sacrament reception. For example, those who begin in the fall of first grade will be prepared for sacrament reception in the spring of second grade. First Reconciliation and First Eucharist preparation and reception can also take place at any time beyond second grade.
It is our hope that greater flexibility, guided by life-stage needs, will better support our families in achieving a lived faith that does not begin and end with program dates and first sacraments.
