Faith Programs Grades 1-5
The evidence is in!
Parents are the most significant and lasting influence on the religious and spiritual development of young people. This influence in not only formative when children are young, it continues to guide their children for the rest of their lives.
Catholic Identity becomes rooted in children’s lives through the day-to-day religious practices of the family, the ways parents model their faith through their personal involvement in Church life and Sunday worship, and through their conversations with their children.
We are pleased to offer options to families of students in grades 1-5. Please take a few minutes to read through the options below, discerning what is best for your family.
Registration will be open here July 1 through September 1 for the 2024-2025 school year.

Option 1 for Grades 1-5
FIRE Family Involved Religious Education
We are excited to present a new program for families of students in grades 1-5. We are calling the program FIRE, which stands for Family Involved Religious Education, and we are ‘Fired Up’ about this opportunity! FIRE is designed to connect families to the parish community of Holy Family and its liturgies while recognizing and empowering PARENTS as the first Catechists of their children and the primary leaders of their faith.
FIRE will meet once per month on Wednesdays with children and parents sitting as a family, working and learning together for one session each month. In addition, these families are asked to attend and participate in our monthly FM Multigenerational Mass. The program will follow the Liturgical Year and will be a ‘spiral method’, meaning all grades will study the same subject on the same night, further enabling discussions at home. Additionally, students will be given materials, activities and worksheets that can be done with the family at home. Register your grade 1 – 5 only but all are welcome.
