Religious Education
Plan for St Bartholomew for 2020-21 (Phase 4)
en español
Due to the current guidelines from the Diocese, we will have Family Formation, Sacramental Prep and Youth Ministry as follows. Faith formation will look a little different this year, but I know God will bless our efforts to grow in Faith and Love!
Family Formation:
Meet for Adoration in the Church once each month and pick up Family Formation packets to complete at home.
At Home Lesson Page
2nd Wednesdays 6:30-7:30pm Younger children & parents (Prek- 6th grade) 11/11/20
Or
3rd Wednesdays 6:30-7:30pm Teens (Families are welcomed) 11/18/20
Adoration is time spent in prayer and worship with Jesus in the Eucharist. This will be a time of guided prayer, songs and reflections. There will also be moments of silence for personal prayer.
Families that are not comfortable with meeting in person can meet virtually on Zoom to pray the rosary once a month and receive Faith formation packets online or by mail.
Family faith formation packets will include:
Monthly plan for teaching our faith, coloring sheets, resources and books needed.
Sacramental Prep:
(Reconciliation, First Communion and Confirmation)
Candidates for these sacraments will also need to follow the family formation program too.
First Communion and Reconciliation prep meetings for parents and students will be held in the family center once each month.
2nd Sunday at 10:15-11:30am. (November 8, 2020)
2nd Saturday at 4:30-5:45pm Hispanic (November 14, 2020)
