The Church recognizes that parents are the first, and best teachers of their children. The Faith Formation programs, offered at Most Blessed Sacrament for children, are meant to give support and structure to the formation that happens at home. The "domestic church" ---the home--- provides a real place in which a child can learn to live his/her faith, as well as understand it. Our goal is to help children and families connect their faith with their lived experience, reflecting especially on their personal stories, in the light of the Gospel.
Classroom-based Faith Formation groups average 15-20 children, with two adults (or an adult, and older teens), per room. Children learn doctrine through the use of a workbook, enhanced by a strong focus on prayer, Scripture, Catholic Social Teaching, and the stewardship of time, talent, and treasure.
Parents are encouraged to enroll their children in our Faith Formation program every year that they are in school. This way the students can continue to grow in their faith as they mature throughout their teen years.

Immediately following the 11:30 Mass, a small lunch is provided for the Youth so they can attend Mass and go right into classes. FAST Lunch is provided by families or teams of families who bring in or cook in our kitchen a quick meal for the students.

Middle and High School sessions
6th - 8th Grade
Middle School Youth will be participating in EDGE sessions on Sunday afternoons. These sessions are modeled on the Life Teen sessions and involve engaging activities and teaching on topics related to our faith and prayer.
9th - 12th grade
High School Youth participate in Life Teen sessions on Sunday afternoons. For those who are in 10th grade or above who are desiring to prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation, they will attend the weekly sessions on Sundays with the High School and there will be additional classes once a month for the Sacrament of Confirmation. For more information on Confirmation please visit the page here.
11th and 12th graders who have been confirmed, young adults, and adults are invited and encouraged to participate in Life Teen especially in a leadership role as small group leaders and catechetical assistants. This group will also be the foundational group for the Confirmation Retreat team. Please contact Yvette Crumly if you are interested in being a part of this group.
