"Tell the children I love them." –GodDOWNLOADS

2011-2012 Registration Packet
Catechist Handbook



That’s what it’s all about! That’s exactly what we do in Faith Formation, we tell the children that God loves them. We tell them that He cares about all of us and that He has blessed us with some very special gifts inside to discover.

Children come each week to class to discover God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as one. Through song, play, and age appropriate activities they experience God through His word in scripture, when preparing for sacraments, and in each other.

Our devoted catechists plan exciting afternoon and evening classes that allow children to interact and make friends while also learning and reflecting on their faith and spirituality. We focus on the children’s personal faith life and help them realize, as they grow, that we are all part of the one body of Christ. (We adults learn a thing or two about our own faith while guiding God's precious children!)

If you have a school-aged child (preschool through 8th grade) we would love to partner with you in helping your child grow closer to God.  We would love to help you show your children that God truly loves them! Grades 1-5 meet on Mondays from the end of September through April. Grades 6-8 meet on Tuesdays from mid-October to the beginning of March. Our preschoolers and kindergartners meet Sundays during the 10:45am Mass.

Visit our Classes page for more information or call 248.693.9555 and ask for our Secretaries, Julie or Judy, or our Director, Kim Myers. You can also download the registration packet and return it to the Faith Formation Office.
