Elementary

Program overview:

Elementary Faith Formation, or Hearts on FIRE, is our model of elementary religious education. FIRE stands for "Family-Integrated Reglious Education." We are empowering parents to be the primary catechists of their children, and doing so in fun, creative, and interactive ways! Youth experience catechesis in their grade-specific classes most weeks, but then are joined by a parent, grandparent, or other special adult for family-oriented faith activities once a month.

Think you might like to join us? We are open to every single child and family. Are you a grandparent? Many grandparents bring their grandchildren! We have fun learning about the love of Jesus Christ every Monday night! We would love to welcome you!

Schedule:

Elementary faith formation for 2024-25 will begin on Monday, September 23rd from 6:15-7:30PM at the St. Joseph House (Waldo Campus). Stay tuned for additional details, including specific information regarding family nights and sacramental preparation, later in summer.

Sacrament preparation:

The Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) and the Sacrament of the Eucharist (First Holy Communion) are traditionally celebrated during the second grade year.

If your child will be a second grader at any of our public schools he/she needs to be enrolled in our Hearts on FIRE program.

Details for these sacraments come through faith formation and through Roncalli Catholic Schools.
