Religious Education Family Formation Info & Schedule
Hello Family Formation! Please read the following in order to register for Family Formation,
St. Barnabas’ 2026-2027 Religious Education program registration is open. You may register here.
For the 2026-2027 school year, Family Formation sessions for grades K-8 will occur monthly. All sessions will begin in the Church Hall at 8:00 AM. Parents will attend the monthly sessions along with their children. We will begin each monthly session in the Church Hall and, following the opening prayer, children will go with their catechists across the street to classrooms to learn about the month’s lessons. One catechist will remain in the Church Hall to instruct the adults. This way, the month’s lesson plans will be presented to children and parents alike.
To ensure continuity in religious development, it is necessary that all children and parents attend monthly sessions regularly.
Materials for at home work will be handed out at the monthly sessions. Children are to be respectful and courteous toward the catechists and other children during sessions. Children are expected to participate, pay attention in sessions, and complete all assignments on time.
