The Middle School Faith Formation program is based upon these goals:
Middle School Faith Formation classes will be held in person once a month from October through May in O'Connell Hall, on Sunday nights from 5-6:30 p.m. Beginning the 2025-26 faith formation year, our Middle School program is open to all students in grades 6 and 7. Students in grade 8 are eligible to enroll in our Confirmation program.
If you determine that our plans for Faith Formation sessions will not work well for your family and would like to explore homeschooling, please contact Monica LaFond for resource recommendations.
This year in our Middle School Faith Formation classes we will explore the life stories of the saints and other holy heroes who inspire us. We will spend our class sessions learning about people of all ages who have gone before us living exemplary lives of faith, in accordance with the two commandments that Jesus identifies as the core of God's law: to love God and to love one's neighbor as oneself (Mark 12:30-31). The overall goals of the program are to create a space for thoughtful conversation, deepen the faith of middle schoolers and their knowledge about our faith, and build community.
Curriculum resources used for the development of our sessions include: Equipping the Saints, Education for Justice, Catholic Central, Busted Halo and the McGrath Institute for Church Life, as well as the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Bible.
Volunteers are always needed! If you are available to serve as a facilitator, please contact Monica LaFond.
