The Children's Faith Formation program is for students in Kindergarten through 5th grade who are not attending Catholic schools.
Our Mission:
To encourage participation at Sunday Mass
To provide age-appropriate catechesis for students K through 5th grade using Archdiocesan standards
To assist the students as they grow in their relationship with Christ through prayer, scripture, and faith sharing
To provide instruction for those preparing to receive the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist
Faith Formation classes begin on Sunday, September 27th. Classes this year will be taught virtually through lessons provided to parents. All registered families: please check your e-mail each week for assignments for your children.
We are also once again providing weekly Mass worksheets. You will find the sheet for next week in the Documents section on this page and the answers to last week's sheet here:

Please remember that you (parents) are the primary educators of your child's faith, especially during this time of physical distancing.
Please do your best to continue to "attend" Mass weekly with your children. You can find links to livestreamed and other Masses on our Home page. Keeping it a weekly habit will be comforting for your children and spiritually fulfilling for everyone in the family.
WE ARE ALSO NOW HAVING IN-PERSON MASSES AGAIN. WE ARE LIMITED IN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO CAN ATTEND EACH MASS, SO WE ASK THAT YOU REGISTER ONLINE FOR YOUR PREFERRED MASS. PLEASE REGISTER HERE. [There is still a dispensation for all Catholics in the Seattle Archdiocese. Attending Mass in person is non-obligatory at this time.]
WEATHER ALERT: When the Sumner School District is closed or dismisses early because of weather conditions, Faith Formation events will be canceled. As always, use your best judgment if conditions worsen after school is normally dismissed.
