Faith Formation Updates…

Registration for the 2024-2025 Sacred Heart Faith Formation school year is now OPEN.  Please visit us at www.sacredheartreligion.org and select the dropdown Registration and Fees.  All children must have a copy of their baptismal certificate on file with our office in order to register into our program.  Baptismal certificates are required at the time of all new registrations.

New registrations and re-registrations for Grades 1 through 6 are now being accepted.

Any new registrations for Grades 7 and 8 are very limited.  Please call the office if you are new and want to register for Grades 7 or 8 to see if arrangements can be made to accommodate you.

RE-REGISTRATIONS for existing students only into Grades 7 and 8 are being accepted. 

For those preferring to register in person, we will be available on Monday, July 8th from 9AM to 1 PM in the Faith Formation office.  (Please remember to bring a copy of the baptismal certificate for your child if registering into Grade/Level 1 or if the office does not already have a copy.)
Additional dates/times for in-person registration may be announced if needed.

Summer office hours and coverage will be limited so it’s best to contact us through email at [email protected] for any questions or help.

Report cards have now been mailed out to all students.  Anyone not completing their coursework successfully with a 65% or better on all lesson assessments and Unit Tests will need to repeat their coursework during the 2024-25 school year.

Our classes will continue to use My Catholic Faith Delivered in the new school year as our primary online learning platform.  We will also offer an Opening School Year Mass, Grade/Level masses/meetings, proximate preparation (required for our sacrament years), Faith Encounters, Advent/Lenten activities, and other hybrid activities.

We wish our families a safe, fun and blessed Summer!  We hope to see our students and families in church over the summer season and remember, “Don’t take a vacation from God!”

Summer blessing for families:

May we make our homes places of relaxation,

joy, love, peace and safety.

May we be generous and considerate,

not thinking only about ourselves,

but helping others enjoy the blessings of the summertime.

Lord God, Creator of all things,

guide our steps and strengthen our hearts

during these months of summer and vacation days.

Grant us refreshment of mind and body. 

May we constantly strive to make a meaningful difference

in the lives of our loved ones and in the world around us

as we enjoy the warm days of summertime.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Reminder…    

Grade/Level 7 – to receive a Confirmation interview, students must have submitted their Saint Report, Letter to the Pastor and complete their MCFD coursework which should now be completed.   All students must be registered into the Year 2 sacrament preparation class in order to continue their journey towards the Sacrament of Confirmation during the 2024-25 school year.  Please contact the Faith Formation office if you have any questions.

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)!
