Payment may be made via check or credit card. Instructions will be provided with your confirmation.
Students in 6th – 12th Grade
We will not be offering a youth service component this year. If any middle or high school youth ministry member is interested in being a catechist aide in the sessions, or helping with the babysitting, they are welcome to be a part of that ministry as well.
Middle and high school formation will be done through our youth ministry program. You can read more about that program here.
It is expected that those in 6th -8th grade will be actively participating in middle school youth ministry as part of the preparation for the reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Faith Formation in the Home
If you are unable to attend on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, another option does exist. Families with children in Pre K4 to 5th grade may choose the home based option. This option occurs at home with the purchase of a textbook and a syllabus is given for the completion of the lessons on a yearly schedule. There is a $35 per child book cost for this program.

Family Registration with dinner at the first session of each month $110
