The Our Faith on Fire! Faith Formation programs place great emphasis on the cultivation of true spiritual values and encourages the overall development of a Catholic Community member, which includes an outlook, understanding, and demeanor that is founded upon a faith-filled perspective and exemplified by living our Catholic Faith every day! Our goal is to help your child to develop a relationship with Christ and to know that he or she is especially loved and valued by Him. The expectation is that each child is registered for, and participates in Faith Formation classes EVERY YEAR from Grade 1 until Confirmed.
Registration for Summer 2025 will open late spring!
Students who complete Summer Session do NOT need to enroll for School Year Faith Formation options, unless they are behind their peers and the desire of the parents is to 'catch up'.
Empowering God's Children, required by the Diocese for all of our Faith Formation students, is designed to help parents and families learn how to protect children against sexual and physical abuse and is a way to help parents introduce the concepts of personal safety, boundaries, and more - all in age-appropriate ways. We partner with you to ensure that your children are empowered to live as God intended - in safe, loving, and protected environments.
We will reach out to you about this requirement each year, but you are free to explore on your own.

Homeschool Summer Program
Grades 1-6
The Summer Homeschool option is an at home program utilizing the same curriculum completion approach as the Traditional school year onsite with both printed and online elements. Perfect for busy families or parents who desire to truly fulfill their role as primary catechist. Course is completed over an accelerated 10 week period. Deadline for completion is firm. No extensions.
Middle School Summer Program
Grade 6, Year 1, and Year 2
The Middle School Summer Program combines one week of onsite classroom instruction in a 'day camp' environment at Saint Kilian School but requires perfect and full attendance - with SKY Youth Group participation and participation in other special events during the school year. Classe sizes are limited based on the number of volunteers willing to teach this one week accelerated course.
Volunteers Always Needed!
Help our Faith Formation Ministry! We are always in need of volunteers to serve as Teachers (adults only), Aides (adults and rising juniors and seniors), Substitutes, and behind the scenes hands-on helpers. Fill out our Volunteer Form and express your interest!
Program availability directly depends on the number of volunteer catechists.
Options are subject to change or enrollment limitations may be put in place if there are not enough volunteers.
