Faith Formation/Parish Religious Education 

We have begun our Faith Formation classes for the year! Our opening parent meeting was on Sept. 14, 2022. If you missed the meeting, your family folders are at the parish office. Next week Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2nd graders will have class from 5:30-6:30pm in the school. 5th graders will have class from 6:45-8:00pm in the parish conference room, and 6th graders will have class from 6:45-8:00pm in the Parish Life Center. Our next Family Faith Formation evening for those with children in grades K-4 will take place on October 5 from 5:45-6:45pm. A light snack will be provided at 5:30pm. Parents will attend a talk with Father Harvey while the children receive catechesis in their classrooms.

Faith Formation is open to students age 3 through Confirmation (grades 5-6) at Christ the King Parish.

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

Family Faith Formation is for families with children Kindergarten - grade 4. 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 6:45pm. 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 every Wednesday from 5:30-6:30pm. A detailed schedule for the 2nd graders is provided below.

Confirmation (5th and 6th graders)
Confirmation consists of a two-year preparation program for 5th and 6th grade. Confirmation classes meet weekly with catechists on Wednesdays from 6:45pm-8:00pm in the Parish Life Center. Detailed schedules for 5th and 6th grade are provided below.
