Welcome to Family Formation!

Due to the pandemic, we will continue our religious education this Fall using an At-Home, Family Formation model through the end of 2020. Our program will include the following for families each month:

• Print copies and digital "Gospel Weeklies" to work with children at home
• Monthly virtual "Prep Rally" to provide parents with instruction on how to use these resources with their children
• Family Mentors to further assist our families in growing in their faith together at home
• Google Classroom platform for students to receive and submit assignments

We recommend setting aside the same time each week to work on faith formation, that way if we are able to return to in-person classes after the New Year or decide to hold virtual classes, you will already have this time reserved for us to work with your children. In-person classes at St. James are held during these times:

Grades 1-6:  Tuesday from 4:15-5:30pm OR Sunday from 10:15-11:30am
Grades 7 and 8:  Tuesday from 7:00-8:15pm

If we have catechists available to host Google Meets or Zoom Meetings with students, we will implement this option for grades 7 and 8.

Please print and hang at home our Family Formation calendar, which includes special celebrations in our Church as well as dates for the monthly Prep Rally.

View and print our Family Formation Calendar here.

We hope that after the New Year we will return to in-person classes, using the times listed above. We will keep parents informed as the date approaches.
