Class Description Grades 1-4
Students in grades 1-4, that are not in their second year of Sacramental Preparation, will
be will placed in his/her appropriate grade level classroom. The students in will learn about our Catholic teachings, traditions and beliefs. They will also work on learning prayers, learn about the Liturgical Seasons of our church, the Mass, and discover how to put their faith into action in everyday life. Children are not required to have a parent present while in the classroom setting. However, parent participation is welcomed and highly encouraged. Please contact the Faith Formation Office for details about serving our Faith Formation program. Our program cannot exist without the support and service of our parents.

Breakthrough Kids ( Grades 5th & 6th )
These sessions are for adolescents in grades 5 & 6, who have been baptized and received the sacraments of First Holy Eucharist and Reconciliation. This unique program takes the students into the Bible to learn about the people of the Bible. One year the class will concentrate on people of the Old Testament while the following year investigate the New Testament. For the 2015-2016 year the students will be studying the New Testament. The students will also be learning grade appropriate lessons about our Catholic Faith during this class. A parent is not required to attend along with their child(ren), but once again, parent participation in our program is both welcomed and encouraged.

Sacramental Preparation (Grades 2-6)
Preparations for the sacraments of First Eucharist and Reconciliation begin with weekly Mass attendance as well as active participation in a formal faith formation program. These sacraments are taught and celebrated in the context of family and community. Per the Diocese of Dallas, children should receive one year of instruction prior to receiving instruction for the sacraments. Children must be baptized and enrolled for the second year in an approved Faith Formation program and sacramental preparation . Generally, children are prepared for the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist in the 2 ^nd grade, as long as they participated in an approved Faith Formation program the previous year.

At the time of registration for the first year of sacramental preparation, we require a newly issued Baptismal certificate from the Church of Baptism. Please contact the Church of Baptism and have them issue a new certificate that can be presented to us at the time of registration. A parent, grandparent or godparent of each student enrolled in Sacramental Preparation must attend the weekly Sacramental Preparation sessions along with their child(ren). A student must not have more than three absences in his/her first or second year of sacramental preparation.
