Faith Formation/Parish Religious Education 

    Faith Formation is open to students age 3 through Confirmation (grades 7 and 8) at Christ the King Parish.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) will be offered for children age 3, 4, and 5. See the "Catechesis of the Good Shepherd" tab for details. 

Family Faith Formation is for families with children age 5 - grade 6. Families meet one Wednesday of the month, gathering as a Parish community (see schedule below). The parents meet with Father Schneider, while the children meet with a catechist according to age group. 
Evenings begin with a light social at 5:30pm, followed by opening prayer at 5:45pm. The evening concludes at 7:00pm. Families are then asked to pray and reflect on the month's teaching at home. It is an unique opportunity to create a domestic church, where the family becomes the primary formator of their children in the faith. See "Letter to Family Faith Formation Parents" below for more details.

First Communion (1st and 2nd graders)
First communion consists of a two-year preparation program. Both 1st and 2nd grade families must sign up for Family Faith Formation. First and second graders and their families participate in Family Faith Formation once a month. Second grade students have additional weekly meetings with a catechist. A detalied schedule for the 2nd graders is provided below.
