St. Ann's Faith Formation Registration

2022-2023

 

Dear Parents,

Thank you for enrolling your children in our Faith Formation program and for allowing us to assist you in passing our faith on to them. 

We’d like to send a huge thank you to all of you who volunteer your time as catechists, substitutes, and those who help in the office, at meetings, retreats, and other activities. We appreciate your commitment and participation in our Faith Formation program. The program simply could not succeed without you. 

As you know, the catechists and substitute catechists that teach in our Faith Formation program are volunteers. Due to the large number of students in our program, we make every effort to keep our classes at a low student/teacher ratio. We ask you to consider assisting us as a catechist or office assistant (during class hours). Tuition is waived for the children of catechists and office assistants.  

Grades 1-7 For this year, we will continue to offer multi grades at the same time in the hopes that it is helpful for parents with scheduling.   Because of the large numbers of children attending our program, classes will continue to meet every other week for 90 minutes per session.   Based on enrollment, we will try to offer two Sunday sessions and two weeknight sessions.   If we do not have enough students signed up for any one session, we will alter the schedule accordingly.   There are four different class options for students in grades    1-7.   Students will be assigned to one class for the entire year based on your selection. 

 The schedule for 2022-2023 will be as follows:

Week 1

Option #1    Sunday    Grades 1-7 will meet every other Sunday from 9:15 am –10:45 am.

Option #2    Monday   Grades 1-7 will meet every other Monday from 5:15-6:45 pm.

Week 2

Option #3    Sunday      Grades 1-7 will meet every other Sunday from 9:15-10:45 am. 

Option #4    Tuesday    Grades 1-7 will meet every other Tuesday from 5:15-6:45 pm.

 

Homeschool classes will continue to be an option for families of students in grades 3-7 only.  This program is an online program.   Students will be given a set number of days (approximately two weeks) to complete these assignments.  Please note, this homeschool program is meant to be taught to children by their parents/guardians, this program is not intended for children to complete by themselves.   

Grades 8-10 Our Confirmation program is a two-year program, and we are in the process of transitioning our grades 8-10 student as they prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation.  There will be a change starting in the fall.  Our plan is to have our students make their Confirmation as 9^th graders beginning in the spring of 2024.  For that to happen, we must have our incoming 8^th graders and 9^th graders in the fall of 2022 participate in the first year of the Confirmation classes.    

Grades 8 and 9 will meet from 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm approximately every other Sunday

Grade 10 will meet from 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm alternating Sundays with the 8^th and 9^th graders.

Please note that students in our Confirmation Program are only allowed one missed class per year.  Any additional missed classes may result in postponing their Confirmation to the following year. 

This year we will be conducting our registration online. However, registration forms are available on the St Ann's website if you would prefer to print them out and  mail them back to the office.    If you are enrolling a new student to the program, you must include a copy of his/her baptismal certificate unless he or she was baptized here at St. Ann’s, Raynham.  Catechists and classes are assigned in early July. Therefore, all children – those already attending, new family members, and new residents entering the program for the first time – MUST BE REGISTERED AT THIS TIME

Parents are reminded that First Communion is a two-year program. Children must attend both grades one and two to become eligible to receive First Communion in Spring of the second year.  Children attending parochial school are not required to attend classes here at St. Ann’s. Parochial school students planning on receiving First Communion here at St. Ann’s in Spring 2023, must be parishioners at St. Ann’s and should notify us at this time.

Confirmation preparation is a two-year program as well. Students must attend both grades eight/nine and ten to become eligible to receive Confirmation in the spring of their second year.  Students enrolled in Catholic high schools are required by Diocesan statutes to attend Confirmation classes in their home parishes.  These students should be registered at this time.                             

If you have any questions, please feel free to call the office at (508) 824-9021. Thank you.                                  

Sincerely
