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 Parent Meeting to provide parents with instruction on how to use these resources with their children
• A Family Outreach Team to further assist our families in growing in their faith together at home
• Google Classroom platform for students to receive and submit assignments
• Catholic Brain, an online resource that parents can use to supplement their Gospel Weekly instruction

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.

We hope that we will return to in-person classes, using the times listed above. We will keep parents informed as we watch COVID numbers. In the meantime, parents who are being offered Zoom classes should plan to fill out the Zoom Consent Form here.
