Faith Formation Program change for 2020-2021:

The Diocese of Norwich has decided that parish faith formation programs should be online for the fall, as it would be near impossible to implement all the precautions that need to be in place in our parishes.  The focus will be on ministering to our families, rather than the formal instructions that so many are used to.   

Beginning in October for all families with children in grades 1-8, we will be meeting once a month online (October through April) for a one hour family program (parents and children) that focuses on 7 different parables of Jesus and how we can live out His important messages in our daily lives.  Note: Again, this once a month program is for families with students in grades 1-8.  We will be foregoing the current grade 6 & 7 online programs and the grade 8 pre-Confirmation program for this year only.  Grade 8 will enter directly into the Confirmation program, as scheduled for the following year.

If you have not yet sent in your registration form, please do so as soon as possible.

NOTE:  

Confirmation students (grades 9 and older) 

First Communion students (grades 3 and older) 

will begin online preparations in January.  More information will follow 

at a later date.
