What is Elementary Faith Development?

In this program help your children to become disciples of Christ, a process in which you - their parents - have the primary role. We do this by providing catechesis for all children on Sundays between September and May, along with Retreat, social and service opportunities . We give special emphasis to sacramental preparation.

When does Elementary Faith Development meet?

We meet on Sunday mornings offering two different sessions, giving families the opportunity to attend Mass together at another time

Our meeting times are:

• Session 1: 9:25 am—10:40 am
• Session 2: 11:00 am—12:15 pm

Where? St. Thomas More Elementary School (main program), Middle School (Sacramental Preparation and Catechumenal Programs)
