Youth Faith Formation

Family is a precious gift from God and grows stronger when rooted in the love of Jesus Christ.  St Luke’s Catholic Spiritual Formation team is committed to placing families at the heart of our religious education programs.  We are excited to encourage, support, and complement the powerful role that parents have of passing on faith to their children.  Below are wonderful opportunities for you to become involved and support the faith journeys of St. Luke’s families and children:

SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION: The second grade year (and for older children who have not yet received the sacraments) is a special time for children to prepare and partake in the sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist.

GRADES 1-6 RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PROGRAM
Children are provided with learning opportunities to grow in faith that:

• Brings meaning and life application to the narrative story and truths of the Bible
• Teaches the core essentials of our Catholic Tradition
• Engages children and families in activities that support a personal relationship with Christ

To volunteer as a catechist, please contact Melissa Lower at [email protected]

GRADES 7-8:  Students come to know Jesus through studying scripture. Our lessons take us to reading the bible and getting more familiar on how to look up passages.
 
GRADES 9-11:  Our lessons cover topics about the creed, sacraments, morality, and prayer. Our catechists are powerful witnesses and share our faith with our young people.

Anyone wishing to share their faith with our young people in grades 7 - 11 please contact
