Sacred Heart Faith Formation

HABEMUS PAPAM  – We have a Pope!

    Congratulations to Pope Leo XIV!  

The month of May is dedicated to honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus and the mother of the Church.

Faith Formation Updates…

Sacrament Season continues in May!

This month we celebrate First Eucharist Masses for our Faith Formation and Academy children on the weekends of May 10th and 17th respectively.  

To prepare for our First Eucharist Masses, our practice schedule is as follows:

• Practice on Wednesday, May 7th (Faith Formation) at the following times:
  • 6 PM for May 10th families receiving at 11 AM; and
  • 7:15 PM for May 10th families receiving at 2 PM.
• Practice on Wednesday, May 14th (Academy):
  • 7 PM practice for May 17th families receiving at 11 AM.

Our Faith Formation students in Grades/Levels 1 and 3 through 7 should now be completing their MCFD coursework by May 15th.

Faith Formation and Academy Grade/Level 7 students will be assigned confirmation interviews once they complete all of their Year 1 confirmation preparation requirements.  Students must satisfactorily complete Year 1 prep before they can register into the Year 2 confirmation prep class.

Please continue to check your email for any updates or changes to the above schedule.

My Catholic Faith Delivered updates…

All children enrolled in My Catholic Faith Delivered should now be working towards completing all  lessons/assessments by May 15th.

My Catholic Faith Delivered logins have all been released so students can sign into their classes and begin their coursework.  Instruction will primarily take place at home, encouraging parents to journey with their children as they grow in faith through the online learning platform My Catholic Faith Delivered. Catechists can communicate with their classes through lesson threads and will be hosting Zoom meetings during the months of November, December and February (one each month) to discuss the Saints, Advent/Christmas and Lent/Easter respectively.

Please pray that our Faith Formation program prepares our children to encounter Jesus and share in the graces and peace that only such an encounter can bring!

“To hand onto your children.
the faith you received from your parents,
is your first duty
and your greatest privilege as parents.
The home should be the first school of religion,
as it must be the first school of prayer.”

– Bl. Louise-Therese de Montaignac de Chauvance, Apostle of the Sacred Heart

Reminder…    

Please remember to practice (at a minimum) the basic Catholic prayers of The Our Father, The Hail Mary and The Glory Be individually (or ideally as a family) each and every day (and night)!
