At Home Program
PreK - 8th Grade
2022-2023
AT-HOME INSTRUCTION FOR STUDENTS PRE-K THROUGH GRADE 8THThe At-Home program for GRADES K – 4 & 5 – 8 is called “Growing Up Catholic: Faith Stories”. There are fifteen (15) sessions in all for the year. Each session contains catechetical lessons for the children, and adults of the family. A story-based approach focuses on the core of our Catholic faith, and coaching for parents to assist them in sharing faith with their children. Every session is presented in family booklets for Pre-k – Grade 4th, with editions for Grades 5th - 8th. As a family you will be reading, discussing, and doing activities.
This option provides an opportunity for the whole family to grow in faith and discipleship, and to worship together by attending Mass regularly and to attend at least 3 parish events from a given list throughout the year. As well as, perform in 10 hours of community service together for grades 5-8.
For credit, each child should upload or email /drop off a photo, PDF, or printed copy of ONE activity that they did for a total of 15 for the year. You will be able to use the website to upload, or you can always email Lori.s@jp2parish.org , or drop off at the main parish doors during the week 9am-1pm. Another option is to drop off your work when you come to Mass on the weekend. Just use the mailbox on the wall outside the Faith Formation Office.
