FiRE Program for Grades 1-5

Our FiRE 1-5 program is dynamic and growing because of parish input. We offer 2 class options for grade school children:

• Option #1: Wednesdays from 6:15–7:30 PM.
• Option #2: Sunday mornings prior to Mass from 8:30–9:45 AM.

This will assist families that want a community faith formation experience for their children, but can’t attend on Wednesdays. After class on Sunday, families will be able to attend Mass together.

Our program has multiple elements. During class, students participate in 2- 35 minute stations. We refer to these weeks as A or B. Once a month on Wednesdays, we have Family Service. See description below.

Family Service

Family Service is open to all children of the parish in grades 1-5 and their families, whether they go to public, parochial, or home school. Families come together to do a service project. This gives them the chance to make a difference in the world while building a personal tradition of community service. We also want children to have fun with friends at church and bring a friend too.

We want our children to come to know Jesus, build community through friendship and service, become familiar with scripture and grow in their understanding of our Catholic faith. We do that in a way that is joyful and fun for our children!

We will be continuing our project of making "busy bags" for preschoolers to use during Mass. We are collecting used/broken crayons to recycle and used (or in rough shape) hard back children's books to recycle.
