SAINTS SIMON & JUDE KIDS – Faith Formation Ministry & Formation

“Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children. They bear witness to this responsibility first by creating a home where tenderness, forgiveness, respect, fidelity, and disinterested service are the rule. The home is well suited for education in the virtues.”
Catechism of the Catholic Church # 2223

 

CLOW/ Tot Liturgy (2 YEARS OLD – 5TH GRADE)

CLOW stands for Children’s Liturgy of the Word. Every other Sunday at the 9:30 a.m. mass children (1st grade to 5th grade) are called forward before the Scripture readings. They will be sent to the Franciscan Room for a Gospel Lesson. Children will return back to their families after the Creed, as the Offertory and Liturgy of the Eucharist begin. Tot Liturgy happens simultaneously as CLOW but for children ages (2-5 years old).

LITTLE SAINTS (0 – 3 years old)

Little Saints is a class designed for newborns through 3 years of age. Our 1 hour sessions are a chance for parents to actively engage with their children in a developmentally appropriate faith-filled learning experience. Classes meet twice approximately the first and third Tuesdays from 9:00 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. The Little Saints program costs $50 per child. This ministry will run from Oct-May. The number of classes per month is determined by major holidays and parish events.

Elementary Faith Formation (Preschool – 5TH GRADE)

Faith formation classes are designed to help your child grow in the love of Christ. The faith formation classes are a time for your child to learn about the Catholic faith in a nurturing and supportive environment. Through continuously developing a relationship with Christ, children learn to become lifelong disciples.

Classes are led by a faith-filled Catechist and are separated by grade level (Preschool through 5th grade). Classes meet once or twice a month on Wednesdays from 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. or Sundays from 10:30 a.m to 11:30 a.m. There are 13 in-person classes and 12 at-home lessons from October 8th running through May 15th. The number of classes per month is determined by major holidays and parish events. The at-home lessons are an integral part of the faith development of your child(ren) are easy to follow with links to readings, activities, and videos provided.
