Faith Formation/Parish Religious Education 

Faith Formation will begin in the fall on September 15, 2021. See below for information on our programs for children age 5-grade 6. At the bottom are listed all the registration forms and schedules for the 2021-2022 year (schedules may be subject to change slightly until August). Registration forms are due to the parish office by July 1, 2021.

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 Catechesis of the Good Shepherd for details and for registration forms. 

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

Confirmation (5th and 6th graders)
In the 2020-2021 year, Confirmation will consist 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 school.
