We are excited to introduce our new Family Formation model  which both provides a community of faith for families to gather as well as supports parents in the home as the primary educators of their children.

Here are the highlight features of our new Family Formation model:

Once-a-Month Family Formation Session at Saint Ann Church

• First Sunday of the month, 6-7:30 pm (a 5:00 p.m. family mass will be offered on Sundays that have Family formation!)
• Parents and children gather for Opening Prayer and Introduction to the Session
• Children (pk-12) will then gather with a catechist by grade level for a “student friendly” learning session about the topic focus of that month
• Parents gather at the same time to review the topic that is being taught to their children.  In addition, parents will review the take home packets to receive ideas, suggestions and support in sharing the faith at home with their children.

Once-a-Week family session at home

• With helpful and easy-to-use resource material and activities, families spend some time together each week sharing elements of the faith through activities and discussion points.  Take home resources will support formation for families with children from pk-12.

Current COVID Adaptation to above Family Model:  While we continue to manage the safety concerns related to the COVID virus, the Family Formation model will begin only with Parent Sessions in October.  These sessions will provide our parents an opportunity for formation, discussion and training on this new family model while our students remain at home.  The timeframe for the Parent-only sessions will be adjusted to an evening schedule to more easily allow for one parent to attend.  As soon as safety precautions can be relaxed, we will be able to implement the model as described above at the timeframe listed above.

Registration for the the Family Formation (PreK – 12th Grade) season is still open.  Please click the link below to our online registration form:
