School Age Faith Formation

Link to the Catechism of the Catholic Church        The official reference book that summarizes the essential doctrines, beliefs, and moral teachings of the Catholic Church

Faith Formation classes for students in 3PK-8th grade are currently offered about once per month after the 9:15am Mass in Perkinsville. Families can attend Mass together and then the children will gather for classes in the Community Center in Perkinsville until 12:30 pm.

Children are divided into groups by age/grade and guided through developmentally appropriate lessons and activities to learn more about the Catholic Faith.

Our goal is to share God’s word to help our children grow in their Catholic faith.  According to our Diocese of Rochester policies, youths should be offered (and attend) at least 30 hours of Faith Formation  during the school year.  Our programs offer a mix of classes, Masses, service projects and family activities in order to ensure that the children can meet that requirement.

Mass attendance is an important part of your child’s Faith Formation process and growth.  We offer a “Family Mass” experience once per month at Sacred Heart Church in Perkinsville.  The homilies during these Masses are created with the children’s spiritual needs in mind and we encourage children and parents to participate during Masses.  Children and families can also sign up to volunteer at these Masses to greet, lector, altar serve, usher and more!
