At Home Program 
​PreK - 8th Grade 
2023-2024


AT-HOME INSTRUCTION FOR STUDENTS PRE-K THROUGH GRADE 8TH  The 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 meet with our Faith Formation Team about once a month.  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 [email protected] , 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.

The 2023-24 will be posted OCTOBER 1, 2023 -  Growing Up Catholic - Faith Stories: God Calls (introduces the Creator God and Hebrew Scripture).(The due date listed are just for people who like to keep a schedule.  Please complete and turn in assignment according to what works for your students schedule. )
