Children in grades 1^st-6^th  will explore our Catholic faith through Our Lady of the Lake’s Explore Four program, which encourages faith exploration through four pillars - study (class), social, service, and faith practice opportunities. There will be 18 scheduled classes (study pillar) between August 28, 2024-April 30th 2025
Children that are in 1st yr. & 2nd yr. Sacramental Preparation classes are required to attend a minimum of 14 in-person classes to fulfill study requirements for the 2024-25 year. Make-up work is required for an in-person class missed and is expected to be turned in to the Faith Formation office within a set time that is to be determined.
All Students will also complete a minimum of 7 total additional Explore Four activities from the pillars of social, service, and faith practice. These opportunities are outlined on the Explore Four 5Chart and must be completed between May 1st, 2024-April 30, 2023. Explore Four credit is earned for social, service, and faith practice activities by completing and submitting the Children’s Explore Explore Four Reflection form found on the parish website under Formation, on the Explore Four Page. This reflection should reveal the student's understanding of how their service, social, or faith practice activity relates to, and enriches, life in the Church
