Family Faith Formation

Jesus gave us the sacraments through the Church to remind us of who we are: We belong to God and each other!

The Faith Formation Program for children TK-5th grade at Corpus Christi meets 3 times each month, from 9am-10:15am, September through May. We use a mix of monthly whole family sessions and just-for-kids workshops to explore different parts of the Catholic faith each semester. Parents attend the Whole Family Sessions with their children. The aim of these sessions is to provide resources and conversation starters about key aspects of the faith. The workshops use creative learning modalities to explore a common theme. Rotating through cooking, music, and art workshops (just to name a few), the children engage in a hands-on exploration of their faith.

Sacrament Preparation for First Communion begins in January for children age 7 (and older) already attending Faith Formation. It consists of six family sessions that begin during the 10:30am Mass and continue for 1/2 hour after Mass. Childcare is available for siblings, though they are also welcome to attend the session. First Communion will be held the weekend of May 17th & 18th at the 5pm and 10:30am Mass respectively. Families registered at Our Lady of Lourdes may enroll for First Communion without prior enrollment in Faith Formation. First Communion dates for OLL families will be set through Our Lady of Lourdes.

First Reconciliation Preparation begins in October for children in 4th grade (and older). It consists of four family sessions that begin during the 10:30 AM Mass and continue for 1/2 hour after Mass. Siblings are welcome, though childcare will also be available. First Reconciliation is December 18th at 6pm. Families with a strong preference to receive Reconciliation and Communion in the historical order can be accommodated. Please let us know in the comments at the end of the registration process.

Jr High and Year One of Confirmation (grades 6-9) meet from 6-7pm in the First Saturday and/or Third Thursday of each month. To qualify for Year 2 of Confirmation, 9th graders must attend at least 8 sessions over the course of the year.
