Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible School is a week long adventure that enhances your child's faith formation.  Each day your child will experience the teachings of the various bible verses that will bring them to a closer understanding of Jesus and his life.  They will participate in the  many facets of their faith through the activities, games and even snacks of each of those sites.   This program runs in June and is for those children in pre-k through fourth grade.   More details will be posted in the bulletin.  See page 4 for contact person.

Sunday School (3 years thru Kindergarten) at Immaculate Conception
Sunday School offers fun, faith-based classes to our youngest disciples.  Sunday School will be held following the 9am Sunday Mass in Room 1 of Corrigan Hall.  We will occasionally visit the Education Center Gym for games and activities.  The goal of Sunday School is to welcome our children to our Church community and to help them grow and learn in God’s love.

Sunday School accepts children aged 3 years through Kindergarten.  Three year olds must be three by September 1st  AND potty trained.  If a child is not, they may still attend with a parent or guardian.

Sunday School will offer age-appropriate learning including; stories, prayer, music, crafts, games, discussion and activities.  All of these will emphasize that God is Great! and God is Fun!  Subjects will include:
 

  • Creation- God made the World, God Made Me
  • Love- God is Love, God Loves us, Jesus teaches us to love God and one another
  • Church Seasons- Lent, Easter, Advent Christmas

    Grades K – 6
    Family Faith Formation is the partnership between the families and the parish.  The Catechesis and Faith Formation department is here to enhance the religious formation already happening in the home.  Each of us providing the talents and information which we need to raise a Christian child.  Faith is first experienced and lived within the family, the parish community nurtures and supports this faith formation.

    Grades K-6 will use the curriculum from the Sadlier Series, “We Believe.”  The series integrates prayer, liturgy and Catholic social teaching with catechesis.  Catholic identity is promoted through the clear presentation of content.  First Graders should attend either Wednesday Evening Christian Formation Classes or be enrolled at St. Mary’s School, since they will begin more in depth catechesis in preparation to receive the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion in the second grade.

    The lessons contain a unique, three-step catechetical process including:  WE GATHER.  Each chapter begins with a meaningful prayer and invites children to share their thoughts and experiences.  WE BELIEVE,  presents the truths of the Catholic faith, based on Scripture and Tradition and provide reengagement activities for each faith statement.  WE RESPOND,  helps children live out their beliefs through prayer, reflection and action.  Every text contains many special family activities to involve the entire family in faith development.  This program runs Sept. – April.  See back for registration form & page 4 for contacts.
