FAITH FORMATION: KINDERGARTEN – CONFIRMATION

SPIRIT & SAINTS FAITH FORMATION PROGRAM (SAS) is a cluster-wide Faith Formation Program set up for public school children in Grades K-9.  It also provides Sacramental preparation programming for all children in the three parishes of Holy Spirit, St. John Cantius and St. Anthony.  Each year 350-400 children and youth take part in a SAS sponsored event with the help and support of parents, clergy and many wonderful volunteers.

Registration for classes is done in the Spring of the year for the school year starting the following Fall.

Classes for K-9 are held Wednesday nights at 6:30 to 7:30 pm at the St. Anthony School Building, following a rough schedule of two consecutive weeks of classes followed by one week off.  Watch the bulletin for exact schedules; schedules are also distributed at the beginning of the school year to families participating.

 Special Events:

Once every month during the school year, Spirit & Saints offers a presentation for parents and youth on topics of interest; including such things as depression, drug addiction, suicide, life after death, etc.  These presentations are held on Sunday nights at 7:00 pm at St. Anthony Parish Center.  Everyone is welcome, and there is no fee.

 Parent Sessions:

Once or twice a year, the ministry staff of the cluster will offer a night exclusively for parents to educate them on the latest issues concerning children, keep them informed of developing trends and to encourage and support them in their critical mission of parenting our youth.  These will be announced in the bulletin, and flyers will be sent home with the students.
