Faith Formation for Children

Philosophy

The fundamental task of catechesis is to form disciples of Jesus Christ.  Jesus instructed his disciples, prayed with them, showed them how to live and gave them his mission.  Our Catholic faith must be known, celebrated, lived and expressed in prayer and works.  The Faith and Life text used in our 1st - 8th grade program promotes the six tasks of catechesis outlined by the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops (USCCB) and our own diocese of Raleigh curriculum guidelines.  Integrating Scripture, tradition and the teachings of the Magisterium in the catechetical program assists the souls in our care to know, love and serve the Lord.

Parents

The program supports parents by recognizing them as the "primary educators" of their children's faith and it seeks to equip parents and compliment their role and responsibility by engaging them in the faith life of their children and asking for their participation and commitment.

Program Times and Schedules

Saint Catherine of Siena offers faith formation opportunities for children (ages 3 - 5th Grade).  Session are on Sunday at 8:45AM-10:15AM, 10:30AM-12:00PM, Mondays 6:00PM-7:30PM, Wednesdays 5:00PM-6:30PM.

Pre-School Formation

Children are introduced to God through bible stories, music, art and prayer.

Kindergarten

The Kindergarten program supports families in developing the Catholic Identity of their children.  The program introduces the children to a beginning faith vocabulary where they celebrate simple rituals and traditions of the Catholic Faith.  These experiences provide the basis for future catechesis in the Catholic Church and her Sacraments.  The text that is used for this class is called Faith First.

Grades 1st - 5th

The Elementary and Early Middle School Faith Formation program is structured on the text from the Faith and Life Series of Catechesis.  The teachers or catechists are lay faithful parents who are trained both in the curriculum and in the process of assisting these young souls under the care of the Director of Faith Formation.
