Faith Formation at St. John the Apostle

Faith Formation Programs

Parish Family Nights

PFN will meet 1-2 times a month throughout the school year, from 6-7:30.

This is our program for everyone in the parish, where we have a meal and a teaching.

We will have a lesson for adults and have something for children in different parts of the church.

All households are invited to this, including single people, married with or without kids,

empty nesters, seniors – everyone!

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

CGS is our Montessori based program, serving children from infant/toddler age through age 12. Click here for more information on this program. 

CGS will not hold class on Parish Family Night (PFN) dates so you can attend the PFN program.

 ***Note: Levels I and II on Wednesday are now full. There is limited room in the remaining sessions.***

EDGE

Edge is our middle school program for kids grades 6-8. They will meet 1-2 times per month from 6-7:30. They are led by a great group of catechists and could always use more help.

Please contact Monica Pugh, Director of Faith Formation, if you’d like to join the team!

High School Youth Group

This group is for all high school-age students, but is mandatory for 9th graders, as year one        of the Confirmation program. HSYG will be meeting twice a month on Sunday evenings            from 6:30-7:45.

*High School Youth Group will meet on February 4, not February 11.*

Sacraments at the end of the school year.

These classes are in addition to participating in the Parish Family Nights.

so that your schedule will be accommodated.
