Dear Faith Formation Families Grades K-8,
I hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful weather – I am very happy that the lazy hazy days of summer have arrived.
With regards to the COVID 19 pandemic and the uncertainty of what things will be like in the fall, St Ann’s Faith Formation team has made the decision to host a Virtual Faith Formation program for the 2020-2021 school year. This will be different than our traditional program, but we’re excited to see how the Holy Spirit will help us grow in faith together, in new ways.
At this time I am working on the calendar, syllabus and structure of the program and will forward more details as soon as I can. To make this an effective and user friendly program, we will be making changes to the K-8 program.
For students in grades K – 5, we will be using a family based curriculum that will gather parents and all the children in your household at the same time, most likely via Zoom. Each virtual session will be led by a catechist who will connect the Sunday Gospel to our daily lives, what we believe as Catholics, the liturgy and sacraments, morality and prayer. Students will receive a grade level workbook and additional material will be available on our website.
For our 2nd grade students, enrolled in First Sacrament formation, there will be additional virtual sessions to ensure that these students are ready to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist.
Students in grades 6, 7 and 8, will be using a new curriculum designed to speak to the hearts and minds of middle school aged kids. Our goal will be to reconnect and engage these students with our beautiful Catholic faith in a way that is relevant to their everyday lives. These virtual sessions will led by a catechist and run approximately two Sundays a month, at a scheduled time.
The pandemic has caused many people to focus on what really matters in life: expressing love and care, slowing down and cherishing family time, and the importance of community. This is what being Church is all about! We look forward to helping you thrive in these areas through Faith Formation this year.
Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have.
With blessings of health and friendship,
Valerie St. Jean
Director of Faith Formation, grades K-8
