Faith Formation

Sunday Mornings at St. Richard Catholic Church

Open to children pre-K through eighth grade.
10 a.m. to noon Sundays (includes 10 a.m. Mass)

We offer faith formation classes for children from age 3 (must be toilet trained) through eighth
grade on Sunday mornings, September through May.

The curriculum includes: weekly small and large group discussions, arts & crafts, music, exploration of different prayer forms, and family-themed presentations.

Each year’s curriculum builds on learning from the previous year, so it is extremely important that your
child/ren attend classes each and every year, even when they aren’t preparing to receive a sacrament!

Following our Mission statement: "By giving glory to God in our prayer life, fostering community, lifelong formation, and service and outreach", we are shifting our focus from previous focus on just sacramental preparation to a grade by grade system where children from kindergarten through 12th grade can have basic faith formation and sacrament preparation at the proper time.

We also are offering parents a course in faith formation that will be focusing on growing in a personal relationship with God so that they can be faith pillars in their families.

We will be still be offering sacrament preparation as a part of the faith formation program, we will do it at the time when it’s necessary and we believe the child to be ready to do so.


Siguiendo nuestra Declaración de la Misión: “Dar gloria a Dios en nuestra vida de oración, fomentando la vida en comunidad, una formación permanente, el servicio y la Misión ", estamos cambiando nuestro enfoque en la preparación sacramental a un sistema de formación por grados, los niños comienzan su viaje des el Kínder hasta el grado 12. Ellos obtendrán la formación básica de la fe y la preparación del sacramento en el momento apropiado.

También estamos ofreciendo a los padres de los niños un curso de formación de fe que se centrará en como crecer en una relación personal con Dios para que puedan ser pilares de la fe en sus familias. La formación de la fe es un proceso de aprender y descubrir la vida de gracia y como esta vida me lleva a la santificación personal y comunitaria.
