Our Faith Formation sessions will continue to be online for the Spring of 2021. This decision was made out of an abundance of caution and care for our students and families. We will re-evaluate in March 2021 and decide if that is an appropriate time to begin in person sessions for Faith Formation. While we will not have in person classes, we continue to support all our families in receiving the resources and guidance they need to make sure children are formed well in the Catholic faith. Students will read the We Believe (Sadlier) textbook for their grade level at home and use the support materials online. Classes will gather virtually every other week to check on progress through the material, participate in games and activities, and grow in faith together. Virtual sessions will follow the calendar below. Each grade will meet via Breakout rooms with individual catechists for each grade. Families may register by contacting Kari Hill at k.hill@dbqarch.orgfor a registration packet. Remember that though things are changing frequently right now - “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever,” (Hebrews 13:8).
