Structure of 2018-19 Faith Formation
As some of you know, we are exploring alternative models of Faith Formation, but we have decided to keep this year's schedule the same with grade levels classes at the standard times:
Grades 2-8 -- Tuesdays 6:30-7:45pm
Preschool - 1st grade -- Sunday Mornings during 9:00am Mass
A couple of changes for this year will include 4 family nights on Tuesdays, which will replace regularly scheduled Tuesday classes on those nights and 3 Family Gatherings on Sundays that will follow the 9:00am Mass. Families with children in both Tuesday and Sunday classes may attend either the Tuesday or Sunday Family gatherings.
An additional change is to our 1st grade class, which will no longer meet before Mass, but will begin with children at the 9:00am Mass with their families and then leave for their class with the Children's Liturgy of the Word.
More info about the changes for this year will be available on our website shortly.
As a reminder for our preschool and kindergarten classes, children should be 3 years old by September 1 and potty-trained to begin preschool. The preschool class is for our children 3 and 4 years old. The kindergarten class is for those children who will be 5 years old as of September 1.
We are also in the process of exploring options to start a nursery during the 9:00am Mass for our children under the age of 3. If this is something your family would be interested in having available as well as if you are interested in helping us make it happen, please let us know.
New Families and Families with Children preparing for Sacraments this year
All new families and families with children preparing to receive sacraments this year will need to schedule a brief (20-30 minute) family meeting to complete their registration. After you register online, please email me (
gayle@saintbrigidparish.org) to set up a meeting. Family meeting scheduling will also take place during the Sunday, August 26 registration day.
