2024-2025 FAITH FORMATION K THRU GRADE 10 REGISTRATION (PAGE 2) ST. FRANCIS XAVIER CATHOLIC CHURCH

Please read the following and sign below.

  • Drop off and pick up information will be covered at orientation.
  • An integral part of a child’s faith formation is participation in Sunday Mass. When a child experiences both the classroom and their faith community, he/she will be encouraged to practice and live his/her faith throughout their lives.
  • Children enrolled in Faith Formation should miss no more than four sessions per year for the year to be considered complete. Students preparing for the Sacraments in year I or year II may miss no more than two sessions during the school year.
  • Parents will be asked to read and sign acknowledgment receipt of the Faith Formation Handbook that will be distributed to the parents at the Orientation evening, on Sunday, September 15th, 2024. It will contain all the program dates and requirements for the children’s formation in the coming 2024-25 year.
  • Parents are to supply a copy of their child’s baptismal certificate at the time of registration. If you do not have one, you must contact the church in which they were baptized and request a copy (even if they were baptized here at St. Francis Xavier, or if you have already given a copy to St. Francis Xavier School).

Fees:

We will not let any child miss the opportunity to enroll in the Faith Formation Program due to finances. Our tuition is a very small amount, which covers only a small part of the costs associated with your child’s catechesis (text books, supplies, catechist training, etc.) throughout the year. If you are financially unable to afford the registration fee, please speak with the DRE to take advantage of a scholarship if you are in serious financial need.
