Elementary and Middle School Religious Education Overview

Pope Francis's message directs our mission in walking beside your family on our Catholic faith journey.

“The family is the fundamental locus of the covenant between the church and God’s creation.”

-Pope Francis

Our program creates the opportunity for all members of the family to learn and grow with their peers. The grouping of children and youth by age allows for differentiation by social and spiritual needs.

By feeding each member of the family based on their needs and current place in the faith journey, we strengthen the family as a whole.

Elementary Formation

Grades 4K-4

Children in grades 4K-4 are divided by age and meet with catechists to deepen their understanding of Christ and the Catholic faith using the Finding God series by Loyola Press. The curriculum, which includes age appropriate hands on activities and discussion, offers opportunities to meet the benchmarks set by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.

2nd Grade Sacramental Preparation

Second grade students will receive their Sacramental preparation for both First Reconciliation and First Communion during class. Parents and child will also receive additional preparation for these Sacraments at a separate family meeting.

We Need Your Help!

Consider being a host family for the weekend program. Contribution is key to self esteem in children, this is an opportunity to work as a family and serve our parish.

Middle School  Formation

Grades 5-8

Children in grades 5-8 will spend time both as a large group as well as breakout groups.

Middle School Development

This age is unique in that children are more socially motivated and engaged with their peers. Offering opportunity for structured social connection is an important part of the catechesis for this age to meet their social and spiritual needs. Both must be met in conjunction to provide an effective and meaningful experience.

They will be guided by their catechists as they deepen their understanding of Christ and their own faith journey supported by the Finding God series by Loyola Press. The curriculum, which includes age appropriate activities and discussion, offers opportunities to meet the benchmarks set by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.

Family Fellowship and Adult Formation

Our formation classes always includes Mass, as liturgy is an important part of our formation and relationship with God.
