Welcome to our 7th and 8th Grade Faith Formation Program
"Be who God meant you to be, and you will set the world on fire."
— St. Catherine of SienaWe are excited to walk alongside you and your students on their faith journey. At this important stage in their development, it’s essential for students to begin making meaningful connections between their faith and the world around them.
Our curriculum, Alive in Christ, encourages students to reflect on their personal relationship with God and explore ways to share their faith with others. Through a variety of engaging activities and multimedia resources, we strive to make each lesson dynamic and relevant.
As part of our Faith in Action plan, students are asked to complete two faith-based activities and two service-based actions, helping them live out their beliefs in tangible ways. Guest speakers also play a key role in bringing our faith to life, offering real-world insights and inspiration.
Wherever you are on your faith journey, we are here to support and grow with you. Thank you for joining us in this formative and inquisitive stage of life.
