Faith Formation/Parish Religious Education 

If you were unable to make it to Family Faith Formation night on Jan. 6, the handouts and recordings are attached below. Our next Family Faith Formation evening will be on Feb. 3, 2021. The topics will be "Praying to the Virgin Mary" and "Expressions of Prayer."

Faith Formation is open to students age 3 through Confirmation (grades 5-8) at Christ the King Parish.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is offered for children age 3, 4, and 5. See Catechesis of the Good Shepherd for details and for registration forms. 

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.

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 detailed schedule for the 2nd graders is provided below.

Confirmation (5th and 6thgraders)
In the 2020-2021 year, Confirmation will consist of a two-year preparation program for 5th and 6th grade. Any 7th and 8th grade students who have not yet been confirmed will continue preparation in the 2020-2021 school year and be confirmed with the 6th graders in the spring. Confirmation classes meet weekly with catechists on Wednesdays from 6:45pm-8:00pm in the school.
