We are getting ready for another great year of Religious Education!
It is that time of year again, and we are accepting registrations for 2025/26 Classes.
Please visit: https://www.elmiracatholic.org/faith-formation/ for registration/ information.
We are accepting registrations for the following:
Sunday School (Pre-K to 8th Grade)
These classes are held 9-10 AM on Sundays at the Faith Formation Center, for all students in these grades. We encourage all children in the parish to participate. A group of very dedicated adults (some with teen assistants) serve as Catechists (teachers) for this program. They use their time and talents preparing and implementing lessons which lovingly share the Good News of Jesus with our young students.
First Penance/First Eucharist (typically 2nd Grade)
Preparation for these Sacraments begins in the Fall and are held throughout the year to prepare the children to receive First Penance and First Eucharist. Enrollment in Catholic School or one year of religious education is required prior to enrollment in this program. If your child has missed either or both sacraments, please check the box for this program when registering, and we will help find the best path for your child to be prepared.
Confirmation (8th -9th Grades)
We encourage all students who are interested in being Confirmed in the Catholic Church to participate in our Confirmation Program. This process begins in Fall of student’s 8th grade year. The student must be enrolled in Catholic school or have one year of religious education prior to enrollment.
Youth Bible Study (8th Grade and older)
Students interested in participating in our youth bible study (a hybrid of Zoom and in-person classes), please fill out the registration form and we will provide you with more information.
If you have other ideas for Faith Formation events or programs, please contact us, and we will do our best to expand the program to meet the needs of our parish’s young people.
Please submit registration forms ASAP so we can finalize plans for classes as soon as possible. If you have questions, please call Kristen at the parish office.
Blessings,
Matt Murray
Director of Faith Formation
