Elementary Faith Formation: Grades 1-6

Option I: On-Site Faith Formation Classes

Students in grades 1–6 meet at St. Joseph the Worker in grade-level faith communities to grow in their relationship with God and deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith. Through the guidance of catechists, students engage in Scripture, prayer, liturgy, the Sacraments, Catholic teachings, videos, hands-on activities, and meaningful classroom discussions.

Students in grades 1–5 use Finding God by Loyola Press, a curriculum that helps children recognize God’s presence in their everyday lives and grow as disciples of Jesus.

On-site 6th grade students use Encounter: The Bible Timeline for Middle School by Ascension, which helps students understand the story of salvation history and how Scripture connects to their own faith journey.

Class Time Options: 
Tuesdays 5:15–6:30 p.m.
Wednesdays 5:15–6:30 p.m. and 6:45–8:00 p.m.

Option II: FAITH — Faith Alive in the Home

FAITH is our home study Faith Formation option for elementary and junior high students. This option allows parents to guide and foster their child’s faith formation at home.

Families are provided with Finding God by Loyola Press books and lesson planning resources to support learning, prayer, and faith discussions throughout the year.

Please note: Students enrolled in a sacrament year are required to attend on-site classes.
